Yes, at Flexiple our tech team is remote. Further, we consistently work with freelancers from our network who are located across timezones. It is an interesting dynamic that poses challenges but also enforces discipline like nothing else I have experiened before.

Learned doing testing manually as well as automate with selenium using java.Having knowledge on TestNG framework & i am more into tools like postman for API test.Hoping for a great year of 2021.

Personal Win
I have a hard time making difficult decisions, I made one this year when I decided to call quits on my life in the US and come back to India. It wasn't easy, but it was quite a simple decision!
I know 2020 wasn't a great year for everyone, but lets's hope 2021 is a year of transformation and we all keep moving up in life!

Thanks for this great thread, Hrishikesh
As a digital nomad, 2020 was quite frustrating since I was bound to a particular location. However, the rise of remote work and the announcements of new remote work programs excites me even more.
This has been a great year for me personally. I have been able to bag some big-name clients in the last few months. Look forward to seeing what the future holds for 2021.

My biggest win this year was launching fexspace.com, collaboration platform for organizations and teams.
My team and I worked so hard through the lockdown to make that happen and we were successful.
Now we are working hard to make Fexspace a collaboration platform for everyone. Anticipate Fexspace in 2021.
Thank you guys.

One of my biggest wins this year is wanting to work a remote position that I really enjoyed. I've been working full time in a contract position as a Contact Tracer helping to make a difference in this Pandemic that we've been dealing with this year for the last 9 months.
I love working remotely, and will be looking for a permanent, new remote position in 2021.
