"Western Digital is a good environment for developers because they put developers first. I never once had an issue where I felt that the higher-ups weren't treating us like "the talent". That's unique to Western Digital."

It has been a challenging position and has taught me skills in construction with zero impact to a 24 hour/365 day a year manufacturing facility. I have been able to sharpen my management training with company educational course in management. I have received numerous acclimation awards from customers and management for the successful execution of the project and my ability to manage cost control."
