This week, we're shining the spotlight on Jason Afara, Solutions Engineer from a whole family of engineers .

What made you decide to work at Fiix?

Fiix gave me an opportunity to leverage my experience from manufacturing to support customers across the world. In this position, I believe I am able to support people and their maintenance teams make a significant impact on their businesses.

What has been the highlight or your most proud moment since starting at Fiix?

A highlight of mine at Fiix was travelling to Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom in 2019 .

What motivates or drives you?

Continuing to get better each day, finding the small changes that can eventually lead to a major impact.

What made you interested in becoming an engineer?

My dad, and 2 older brothers have chemical engineering degrees as well. I was fortunate in my position (as the youngest) to see the success and opportunities they were given with that degree. Luckily I enjoyed and was good with math and science.

If Fiix organized a talent show, what do you think you would do?

Try and convince a group of peers to join me in either re-enacting a scene from The Office, or sing a Backstreet Boys song.

Are you an early bird or a night owl? Why?

Currently transitioning from night owl to an early bird. I think the working from home life has caused me to wake up a bit earlier and spend some time outside on a walk or run before starting my work day.

What's your favourite thing to do on the weekends?

 Currently, spend as little time on Zoom calls and as much time outside .

What is one thing you miss now that you are not working in the office?

The people! Working in an office brings a different level of energy to my work day.
