Tell me stories about topics you are curious about and what you are doing to explore those areas in depth."

“I like to see candidates with a demonstrated curiosity for what's new, how things work and why they break,” added Bob Cotton, fellow Freshtracks.io co-founder. “Show me you are constantly learning. This should be layered over passion, motivation and vision.”
