Change is in the air here in the Blue Planet realm! While we can't spill all the beans just yet, we couldn't wait to share this special update: our office has had a stunning makeover! 😍💼

As our company continues to grow, so does the space that powers our creativity✨ We've decided to maximize our fantastic office space by adding more desks upstairs. 🖥️💻 If you've ever visited us, you'll know that this space is prime real estate! It's right next to the kitchen and offers an awesome street view, perfect for some people-watching moments. 👀

On top of this big change we have finished our shower room (for those days where you’ve just worked too hard)

And we have installed an accessible toilet downstairs to cater to everybody’s needs.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming your way! 📣🤩

Home Office with a view! 🖼

A few months ago we said "ciao!" to our excellent Product Owner Nicholas and today we were lucky enough to get a sneak peak into his new office space...

"This age of hybrid working solutions makes our increasingly complex lives a lot easier. I am super happy that I can join my partner Nora in Turin where she is on assignment for her PhD in collaboration with the The International University College of Turin, focusing on machine learning algorithms for genome interpretation.

Thanks to technology and my employer Blue Planet Academy & Consulting, it is business as usual for me! What a wonderful international experience! 🇮🇹"

Anyone else jealous of that view? 🐶

Meet Nikita, an extreme sports lover who, luckily for us, is pretty great at extreme coding too. He wanted to be a Ninja growing up, while we can’t make him a ninja we can certainly give him the tools to make knowledge his greatest weapon!

This business major makes it his business to be super efficient and great to have around the office.

We’re excited to watch you grow Nikita, welcome to the team.

You know what really puts a smile on our face?

Our hardware budget 🥳

Yes... call us superficial but we can't resist some technology!

Every year each member of the team gets an amount of money allotted to "hardware" this is anything that they think might make their lives, their code, and their brains a little bit better. 💻🎧

There's nothing more essential than your comfort in the workplace and we know that everyone has their own quirks. Instead of imposing a preplanned work style on our team we have it be 100% customisable.

Here we have Mo (one of our best posers for the camera btw 📸) and his new headset. Carefully selected to be the best thing to drown out noise and also make you look like you're super hard at work. 🤩

Every month (we hope but usually it’s more when the amount of information gets too much to be contained and needs to be shared before and explosion!)

We have an update talk bestowed upon us by the main man in town ! 🗣️

He shares his hopes and dreams with the team and we all try to follow what he’s saying.

These talks are extremely important and special to us because it gives every single member of the team the opportunity to:
(1) ask questions
(2) voice opinions
(3) be on the exact same wavelength
(4) play some fun games after

We always appreciate how seriously everyone takes this (because it is tip top serious affair) and we hope to share some of the fun information with our followers very soon 💙🎉

What’s that thing over there? A strange colour? Texture? I’ve never seen something quite like it…
It’s the office fruit basket! 🍒🍓🍇🍎🍉🍑🍊🍋🍍🍌🍏🥝

You must have walked past it a hundred times, never daring to pick up what was inside 😓

That’s ok we can do this together. 💪

You wouldn’t fuel your car with anything less than the best (this doesn’t work for Tesla users but use your imagination because I can’t think of another analogy) so don’t allow your brain to run on crap either. It will thank you ✨

Today is a special day where we welcome a very special little guy into the office! Could this fluffy stool be our new mascot? Our new pillar? Our lobster? Everything we ever needed and wanted in our office?

We certainly think so.

What should we call him? Suggestions in the comments below! 🪑

Ever wondered who the brains behind our whole office operation was?

Today is your lucky day 🍀

Thank you to our very busy office manager for taking a bit of time to sit down with us and give us the low down of her life as an office manager! 🖥️

So what do you think, would you be up to the task?

Ever wondered how we keep the office so sleek?

It’s not by accident. Plenty of little elves work behind the scenes to make it the awesome place to work that it is!

Our key word? Teamwork! ✨

Every week we have someone on “trash duty” a “trash fairy” 🧚‍♀️ if you will. This allows us to be sure that on office days someone is picking up mugs and glasses even from the most well hidden places. And that no trash is left behind or mis-recycled! ♻️.

We count on a certain amount of goodwill also, if you see something that isn’t right: do something about it. We don’t just sit around expecting someone else to. Our office is our responsibility.

One thing that really helps us stay on top of it is our sparkling Office Manager Marie! If you want to know more about the responsibilities, highs and lows of an office manager for a fast-paced tech company then stay tuned. Marie’s feature will be up next!

What do you do in your spare time?

Our team have a wild selection of skills and talents that make them the amazing coders they are! But what do they really do that makes them so great and intriguing? We've got the info you need!

Vinnie Schelfhaut is a Pokémon card game enthusiast and has been all round Europe playing for the big win! This year is extra exciting for him xbecause he has been given the opportunity to fly for 8 hours all the way to Tokyo and participate in the highly anticipated 2023 Pokémon World Championships. We wish him the best of luck and much more success for the future!

You're probably wondering right now how somebody ends up playing Pokémon cards in their day to day life, scroll through our slides to hear more from the man himself about what gets his blood pumping. ♠️♣️♥️♦️

Did you know that Shiva means eloquent in Farsi? How cool is she!

She absolutely knocked our socks off during her trials so we are more than excited to see what she is going to do next… 🤩
