Meet Mile, the perfect example of discovering new passions and aptitudes within you that you didn’t even know were there. Mileidy is a musician with a keen eye for talent and a valuable member of our recruiting team.
Who is Mileidy?
I am a very spiritual person. I got married recently, so right now I’m going through a brand-new experience.
I consider myself an outgoing and social person, I love making friends and learning new things, but ironically, I am also kind of shy in certain ways—I know it sounds weird, I am not sure how to explain that combination.
I love doing different things, I am part of a band at church, so I dedicate plenty of time to music at work, I also enjoy learning languages. At Oceans, I am part of the recruiting team, searching for new people to join our team and ensuring they have all the necessary information.
What was your first impression of Oceans Code Experts?
I had different impressions from different team members, some seemed quite serious and centered, I wasn’t sure how to approach them, with others, I felt like I knew them already. I’ve seen everyone as an interesting individual to meet and talk to.
What is it like working at Oceans?
I love the teamwork, the people, and the way I’ve been treated since day one. I’ve made friends and discovered new experiences that bring me out of my comfort zone.
I like to grow as much professionally as I do personally, previous work experiences have felt much more like strict employment relationships, Oceans feels more like a home environment, it makes for work that feels warm and pleasant.
Tell us about something you’re proud to have accomplished at Oceans
At the beginning, I felt proud about feeling useful and being part of recruiting two new members without really having much experience in the field. I enjoy looking back at all the things I’ve learned and the progress I’ve made. I’m proud about making the decision to join the team and learn more about technology too.
What’s your day to day motivation?
To me, every day is a new opportunity. I have many goals and dreams, achieving them through my work and effort daily motivates me. I am also motivated by music, which is a big part of me as well.
But what truly drives me is my spiritual life, beyond just going to church, to me it’s about perceiving it across all areas of my life, I’ve composed some songs in appreciation of this and as a way to express a positive message to others.
What are your career expectations?
It’s complicated, I like doing many things, but music is still what drives me the most. I never imagined having this job at Oceans and I’ve loved this experience, it’s something I learn from every day and know will stay with me forever.
I dream of building my own music academy some time in the future, working with Oceans is teaching me so much about leadership, business, and what it’s like to manage an enterprise.
What do you enjoy most about working remotely?
Coming from jobs that couldn’t be done remotely, I am enjoying it so much. Being at home and avoiding traffic—especially during rainy days—making the most out of my time, and being able to work on a schedule that adapts to my lifestyle, I love it. I prayed for a job where I could spend more time with my family, and it’s now a reality.
How do you spend your time outside of work?
Well, now I’ve started exercising again, something I had to drop at some point, I do that early in the mornings so I can work more relaxed.
I write songs and poems, and thoughts about values and all aspects of life.
On weekends, I spend some time with my family, at church, with the band or other groups. At home I love watching movies and—of course—listening to music. I also play the guitar and I’m now trying to learn to play new instruments.
