(Debug your way to fun!)

In the world of software engineering, we often spend our time writing code, fixing bugs, deploying solutions and rolling out new features. However, there’s another side to our team that shines just as brightly: our spirit of camaraderie and love for a good challenge. This was wonderfully displayed during our recent Sports Tournament 2024, a time when we put down our laptops and picked up paddles, cues, and controllers to engage in some healthy competition and lots of fun.
