Kipsu was developed hand-in-hand with the world's leading service oriented brands. See why it works.
Cara Sego, our Product Director, has worn many hats at Kipsu! Cara started at Kipsu shortly after graduating from college, and was able to not only build her career path, but was able to help build our Product Development team and company over the years. We sat down with Cara to learn more about her career journey finding the best-fit hat for her.
Careers are such personal journeys - everyone’s path is different and brings unique experiences to their field. Sometimes major life events can completely change the trajectory of our career and steer us into an entirely new direction. Switching from one industry to another can be intimidating, but also exciting! These switches provide value to those fields, as you bring in a new perspective and skillset that you might have not found on a traditional career path. Iloriem McLaughlin, one of our wonderful software engineers, shared her career journey, leaving healthcare after the pandemic and jumping into the world of tech.
When we think of software engineering careers, oftentimes we picture a “traditional” path - getting a four-year degree right out of high school, and entering the workforce at an entry-level position. However, software engineering is a great career choice, no matter what your current or previous experience. We sat down with Amber Sorenson, one of our incredibly talented software engineers here at Kipsu, to talk about her career path, and how sometimes the less-traditional route can be an exciting way to enter a new field or industry.

Happy Father's Day from Kipsu to you! We wanted to celebrate this special day by highlighting one of our amazing Kipsu fathers, Alex Buddington. Alex has been at Kipsu for about a year and a half now, and is part of our on-boarding and training leaders at Kipsu. He has two children, Owen and Olive. Alex recently welcomed baby Olive to the family and is excited to be a father of two and for Owen to be a big brother! Alex loves being active with his kids and enjoys going to parks, farmer's markets, and just being outside as much as possible. We asked Alex to answer a few questions about what it is like being a father while also working at Kipsu.
