I took a break from online content in the past month because of my new role as a CTO of an eCommerce enabler company here in the Philippines.
I honestly love the role as it stimulates my focus and creativity in product development and it is satisfying to contribute my knowledge and experience in setting up a strong tech team and the company’s process in the IT department.
Meanwhile, I miss writing and I miss sharing my journey. It took a while before I managed to create a system to squeeze in the time to do content without sacrificing my time in the company.
