When Hanabi Ono started as a UiPath Developer, automation was mainly about RPA. A single process, a repetitive task: figuring out how to automate it more intelligently.

Her work now looks quite different. As a Senior UiPath Developer, Hanabi is increasingly working on complete end-to-end solutions. These solutions bring together various processes, and with advancements in AI products such as Document Understanding and Communication Mining, the possibilities have expanded significantly.

And that’s exactly what makes the work interesting to her.

“Ultimately, you want to eliminate as much repetitive work as possible so that people can focus on the work that really matters and act on process insights.”

But there’s something else that’s just as important to Hanabi: the freedom to decide for herself how she’ll get there. From her very first day at Tacstone, she was given the freedom to organize her work in her own way, take the initiative, and continue to develop herself. You see that reflected within the UiPath team as well. Colleagues may have the same job title, but their day-to-day work can be very different. That diversity within the team ensures that we keep each other on our toes and continue to challenge one another.

“Everyone works in their own way. Because we work across many different sectors, phases, and team compositions, you get to know yourself well and discover where your strengths and ambitions lie. As a result, you learn how to make the best use of them while still enjoying what you do.”

Of course, that freedom also requires a lot from you. Being able to work independently and having a desire to solve problems are important. But according to Hanabi, technical knowledge alone isn’t enough to succeed as a developer.

“You need to be independent and good at solving problems. But social skills are just as important, because you’ll be working and communicating with customers a lot. And continuing to learn and grow is really part of what Tacstone is all about. They also give you the space and opportunities to do that.”
