Spotlight on Joe Owens: Senior Developer
At Answer Digital, our people are at the heart of everything we do. This month, we’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on Joe, one of our talented Senior Developers, as we celebrate his incredible contributions to the team over the last three years and learn a little more about the person behind the role.
Joe’s role in three words
When asked to describe his job, Joe chose the words creative, fulfilling, and challenging. These perfectly encapsulate his work as a Senior Developer, where he not only drives innovation but also supports the growth of our developer community here at Answer Digital.
A career milestone to be proud of
One of Joe’s proudest achievements is earning his promotion to Senior Developer. It’s a testament to his hard work and dedication, and he’s thrilled to see the positive impact he’s making within the team and beyond.
The best part of the job
For Joe, the standout aspect of working at Answer Digital is the people. “Everyone is so supportive and makes time for each other,” he says. It’s this collaborative and inclusive culture that makes Answer such a great place to work.
Before Answer: an unusual role
While Joe hasn’t had too many unusual jobs, he recalls one unique role: working in a food kiosk at Bradford City. It might not have been the most glamorous gig, but it’s certainly a fun addition to his career story!
A world traveler at heart
Joe’s favorite travel destination is Iguazú, Argentina, where the breathtaking scenery and vibrant South American culture left a lasting impression. In fact, he’s an avid traveler who has visited more countries in Asia than Europe—a fun fact that surprises many people. However, he’s hoping to change that this year by exploring more of Europe!
A surprising guilty pleasure
Despite claiming a strong disliking for musicals, Joe recently watched Hairspray with his wife and absolutely loved it. Who doesn’t enjoy a little toe-tapping fun every now and then?
A dream job for a day
If Joe could swap jobs with anyone for a day, he’d choose Robert Irwin, the wildlife conservationist and son of Steve Irwin. “I’ve always loved animals, and if I hadn’t chosen this career path, working with animals would have been my other choice. Getting to work with them so closely would be amazing.”
Joe’s passion, creativity, and drive have made him an invaluable part of the Answer Digital family. Whether he’s developing innovative solutions, collaborating with his supportive team, or dreaming about his next adventure, Joe embodies the spirit of what makes Answer a great place to work.
Here’s to Joe and all he’s achieved, happy three year work anniversary —we can’t wait to see what’s next!
