Ikani Samani

I have a genuine passion for working at startups because of their dynamic and innovative environments. However, this enthusiasm has also exposed me to the reality that startups can sometimes face challenging decisions and outcomes. For instance, my current role at Datajoin has been gratifying, but it saddens me to share that the company has run out of money and runway. While these situations can be challenging, they have also taught me valuable lessons in adaptability and resilience.

Moreover, I love working as an engineering manager and thrive on taking responsibility and ownership of challenges. I am dedicated to maximizing the abilities of my teammates, helping them grow, and fostering a collaborative, high-performing work environment.
