Here is what people who joined the Data Analytics team want to share with you:

“I started my career at scandiweb a bit more than two years ago as a front-end React developer. During my onboarding period, I was temporarily transitioned into digital marketing to write team guides about the platforms we use from a completely fresh perspective.

As I learned the ropes and got accustomed to the team, I became so comfortable and familiar with our small, cozy group that I couldn’t refuse the offer to stay when our team lead offered me a position.

Since then, I have learned all about digital marketing, privacy, and tracking. More importantly, I have gained valuable experience in leading projects, managing clients, and adopting a growth-oriented mindset that drives me to continually seek improvement.”

Jawad Hamadani. Data Engineer from Lebanon. Joined the company 5/1/2022.

“My career at scandiweb began in March 2023, transitioning from a medical engineer to a web developer. scandiweb offered a wonderful opportunity and the guidance needed to enhance my developer skills.

After onboarding, I eagerly took on a web analytics project, which sparked my interest in analytics and led me to join the growth team. The support and encouragement from my colleagues have been invaluable, helping me grow both technically and personally.

I have learned the true essence of teamwork and developed skills in time management, project management, and strategic thinking. I am extremely grateful for their support throughout my journey!”
