# Brent Arata > Huh? Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/brentarata I am normally the person learning the skills needed to improve the weakest parts of the team in order to make the team much more effective and efficient. I am not really a person that gets bothered with criticism. I am definitely fit the personality of one who takes the initiative, maybe I should think a little bit more before I act? However, if I fail, and we learn from it, I think the experience is well worth it. Failure is just another part of learning. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software .Net Engineer @ Nevro Jan 2021 – Present | United States ### Programmer @ ZeroHourGames Jan 2018 – Present ### Software Engineer @ automotiveMastermind Inc.
