A day in the life of... Daksha Joshi,
Senior Software Developer at Scilife

A few weeks ago, we had the chance to get to know our Onboarding Manager Sacha and our Content Specialist Júlia. Today, we want to bring you along for a day in the life of one of the team members behind the Scilife platform: Daksha Joshi, our Senior Software Developer!

8 am

Daksha likes to start the day by waking up her body through exercise. It seems like that’s the favorite way of beginning the workday for Scilifers!

9 am

After that, she loves to help her mother organize the chaos at home. To do so, she spends some time making breakfast for herself and for the rest of the family. Once she has fueled her body with a nutritious snack, she likes to dedicate a moment to meditate and offer her prayers, keeping her mind and body balanced and relaxed.

10 am to 6 pm

Time to get things done! Daksha starts her workday by reading up on her latest Slack messages and by attending the stand-up meeting where she and her team discuss priorities and action points to set the goals for the day.

6 pm

After working hard to take Scilife to the next level, she likes to reunite with her family at the end of the day and spend some quality time together, catching up and sharing anecdotes while making dinner to enjoy a delicious meal together.

And how does Daksha like to finish her day? Before going to bed, she loves to relax and watch her favorite TV series.

Now that we know what a typical day for Daksha looks like, let’s get to know her a bit better!
