One of the most significant things I have learned is the power of cross-functional collaboration. Working closely with product, design, and operations teams has highlighted how crucial it is to align technical initiatives with business goals to drive innovation.

Tell us about your favorite day/event at ButterflyMX. What makes it so special/memorable?
One of my favorite events at ButterflyMX was our Product and Engineering offsite in New York.
It was incredibly special to meet so many talented colleagues in person for the first time. We spent a few days collaborating, exchanging ideas, and building stronger relationships outside of the usual virtual setting. The energy in the room was contagious, and it reinforced how important in-person connection can be for teamwork and innovation. It was a perfect mix of productivity and fun, making it a truly memorable experience.
What has been the best part about working remotely? The most challenging?
The best part about working remotely has been the flexibility to see my boys a lot more, including having the opportunity to coach them in basketball. It has been amazing to be present for those special moments. On the flip side, the most challenging part has been managing the noise and distractions when they are home from school while I am trying to focus on work.

Fun facts about Joe
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
If I could live anywhere in the world, I would choose El Salvador, as my wife and her family are from there. We also had a beautiful vacation there this year and already want to go back. However, a more realistic option would be San Luis Obispo, California, where I always enjoy visiting. Being near the coast and wine country sounds like a good place to retire.
Do you have a secret talent (*cough* superpower) you want people to know about?
I am fairly boring. My special talent involves being able to wake up without an alarm every single day.
What is your favorite thing to do after work or on the weekends?
Finding time to watch the Dodgers or Lakers depending on the time of the year. Lots of sports with the boys too, whether I am coaching or driving them to a practice, game, gym or field.
