Congratulations to our Maverick of the Month: Guidion Sama!
Guidion joined Team Maverick one year ago as an HPC Bright Cluster Engineer. Our customer, a top Biotech company needed to upgrade on-premise resources to a cloud solution. Guidion stepped in and took off running!
1. How long have you been in Information Technology?
I have been working in this field for over 12 years.
2. How did you get involved with your current position?
Sally reached out to me on LinkedIn with an opportunity that was right in my wheelhouse.
3. What do you enjoy most about your job?
The flexibility I have in this role. Being able to work and take care of my family at the same time is valuable. Guidion is a proud (& busy) Dad to three young children; ages 4.5, 2.5 and 4 months.
4. What are your thoughts on the future of the IT industry?
I would say that the IT industry is still in the infancy stage. The growth potential is unimaginable!
5. What advice would you give to your 20-year-old self?
I would have chosen the same career and family path I have taken but if I could go back, I would tell young Guidion to worry less about risk and fear of failure.
6. Where would you go if you won a free trip to anywhere in the world?
I would like to visit London with my family.
7. What are your hobbies or things that you like to do in your free time?
I like working in my vegetable garden. I also like to work on necessary repairs at my home.
8. What do you enjoy about working with Maverick?
When I have a concern, it is addressed immediately and the support I get from all the Maverick team members is top-notch.
"Guidion is extremely hard working, focused and a team player. He’s great at interpreting what our client needs, seeing the big picture and delivering within sensitive timelines."
