We asked Sam for his take on our culture, and here\u2019s what he said:<\/h3>\n<h3>1. How would you describe Avant\u2019s culture?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avant.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sam-Funk.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25448 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.avant.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sam-Funk-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Sam smiling in a navy blue buttondown\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.avant.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sam-Funk-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.avant.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sam-Funk-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.avant.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sam-Funk-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.avant.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sam-Funk-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.avant.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sam-Funk.jpg 1051w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We are inquisitive, prudent problem-solvers. We\u2019re very design-focused and interested in working on complex challenges. And we always have an eye towards the future\u2014ultimately, we\u2019re thinking about how we can scale, how we can grow, how we can better ourselves. Sometimes we mess up, of course, but it always comes back to, how can we improve our design, our products, our processes? We don\u2019t want to get stuck in a single way of doing things.<\/p>\n<p>As a medium-sized company, Avant is interesting. We\u2019re not like a big investment bank where it\u2019s super cutthroat, but we\u2019re also big enough where you\u2019re not just trying to keep your head above water. We operate in a space where we\u2019re lean enough to be able to trust and rely on one another.<\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Why are you happy\/successful here?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m able to constantly work on very interesting problems\u2014I\u2019ve never really been bored here, and I\u2019ve really enjoyed a lot of the larger projects I\u2019ve worked on. On my team, we try to stay up to date on the cutting-edge technologies and techniques that we can use for data science and machine learning, which is really interesting. We don\u2019t want to get locked into one way of doing things. So to sum it up, I\u2019m happy here because I\u2019ve been able to solve very interesting, complex problems using some of the most up-to-date cutting-edge technology.<\/p>\n<p>And then\u2014kind of a cliche answer\u2014but it\u2019s also the people. My role is mostly engineering, but I interact with data scientists, data people, product people as we roll things out. We are very like-minded, in an intellectual curiosity sense. Our work ethic, too. I have enjoyed those relationships a lot.<\/p>\n<h3><b>3. What&#8217;s a superpower that you get to apply at your job?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>In my 4 years here, I\u2019ve worked on and even helped create many of the services that the entire company uses. So people come to me when they have questions. My superpower is that I can easily identify what problems they\u2019re having and steer them in the right direction. I can see both very broadly and very precisely into these different pieces of technology that a lot of people rely on and help them find a solution.<\/p>\n<h3><b>4. If you had to describe who you are and not mention your work at all, what would you say?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>I love to laugh, and I love to make people laugh. My sense of humor is goofy and cynical. A lot of sarcasm. And I\u2019m not afraid to do an accent or an impression here and there. I\u2019m really an extroverted introvert.<\/p>\n<h3><b>5. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Kind of weird and nerdy, but I always liked streams. Like, seeing how streams meander. So I thought I wanted to be a civil engineer or something that involved water and large civil projects. That, or some other kind of engineer. I always liked tinkering around when I was younger.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Like what you\u2019re reading?
