You know those inspirational stories that make you jump out of your routine and completely change your life? This is one such story. Meet our colleague Emine Bakir, a humanitarian, volunteer, traveler, motorcycle driver, former flight attendant and software developer at Authority Partners in our Istanbul Technology center.

Every six months, we take a reflection pause by hosting our semi-annual Townhall meeting. This year’s Mid-Year Townhall was held on July 21st, both on site in 4 locations (Irvine, Sarajevo, Istanbul and the Punta Cana) and online (globally).

Meet Luis Marquez, Program Architect and Software Developer at Authority Partners! He was born in Mexico, a country with many colors, beautiful beaches and delicious food. He loves to travel and has lived in four different countries in the past 5 years, with a goal of visiting at least three new countries every year. You can probably tell by now that he has two passions: programming and traveling.

We enjoy every occasion that brings us together, especially if there is an opportunity to meet in person. On June 2nd and 3rd, 2022, program and solution architects from AP TC Sarajevo gathered for the 6th annual AP Architecture Summit at our AP Lab. During this time, our colleagues from 12 different countries worldwide joined online.

This month, we welcome a new member to the team and a new country to our world-wide list of consultant sources.

Nura shared with us some travel tips for Canada, what she loves about Authority Partners and the importance of relationship building in the workplace.

This month we share a story from a true Star Wars fan from the Republic of Honduras who will share more fun facts about his country, how he describes his team, what are his favorite events, which skills he would like to get tomorrow, on which project he would like to work for the entire next year and many more.
