I co-owned and operated a restaurant, collaborating with partners to make key business decisions, divide responsibilities, and navigate conflicts effectively. As the manager, I focused on daily operations, leading a team of employees, delegating tasks, and providing feedback on performance, resulting in increased productivity and positive customer experiences. Through daily interactions with customers, employees, and partners, I developed strong communication and problem-solving skills, including active listening, conflict resolution, and persuasive communication. My experience is valuable and transferable to the software development industry that I am passionate about.
