Growing a career in software engineering is often framed as a purely technical journey. In practice, learning and sharing play a much bigger role.
In this episode of Le Podcast on Emerging Leadership, I am joined by Emilien Macchi, Senior Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat.
Emilien is a long-time contributor to OpenStack, originally from France and now based in Canada. In our conversation, he shares how learning, collaboration, and knowledge sharing have been central to his growth as a software engineer.
We discuss topics such as:
peer reviews and pair programming
learning through collaboration
remote work and why Emilien finds collaboration easier and better in distributed teams
the skills that matter most for long-term growth as an engineer
This episode is for software engineers who want to grow their impact and satisfaction at work, not just their technical expertise.
