How long have you been on the Hitchhikers team?

2 Months

What projects have you worked on since joining the Hitchhikers team?

  • Building out the Yext.de Answers experience
  • Tons of German search quality review
  • Working with the Protestant Church of Germany for their (hopefully soon!) German beta launch
The Yext.de Answers Experience!

What is your proudest accomplishment since joining the Hitchhikers team?

Completing the Hitchhikers training; learning and applying HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

How has becoming an administrator/Hitchhiker affected your career?

I've already acquired so many new technical skills in such a short time. I can't wait to keep building out my understanding of different coding languages. Also, it's super cool how Answers is taking our years of highlighting the importance of a structured Knowledge Graph to the next level.

What is one thing people might not know about being an administrator?

It allows for a fair amount of experimenting and learning on the fly. Perhaps because of that, our team is super resourceful and always willing to help out with advice and recommendations.

What is the toughest challenge you have had to overcome on a project?

Debugging! Is something not being surfaced or displayed as intended? Then you might have to grab your detective hat and go investigate the search query, your search configuration, page design etc... Challenging but fun!
