It’s been more than eight years since I joined Thoughtworks—a company known for sharing practical, experience-driven insights on technology and business with the world. Thoughtworks has long stood for doing what works in the real world. From its contribution to the Agile Manifesto—which reshaped how software is built to be more adaptive, collaborative, and customer-centric—to continuously sharing learnings from the field, the focus has always been on outcomes, not theory.

Thoughtworks has always amazed me—whether it’s the pioneering work we do in the industry or the contributions we make to software engineering practices. What truly inspires me is our people-centered approach. Recently, I was honored by our market leadership, who put me in the spotlight to share my journey with fellow Thoughtworkers. While I’ve learned a great deal from my colleagues, I took this opportunity to share my own experiences in the hope of inspiring others.

Thoughtworks is celebrating its 30th year in industry, and I have completed five years here, and to celebrate this, I have compiled thoughts from thoughtworkers, and published them as an ebook. I am grateful for the wealth of knowledge and experiences shared by my colleagues. These thoughts have resonated with me and shaped my journey within the organization and life. I am excited to launch the ebook with this post. I believe this compilation of thoughts will not only serve as a personal reflection but also as a valuable resource for others on their own professional journeys.
