# Elon D. Rubin, Esq. > Tech Lead (Data Engineering) at Good Inside (Ex Oura, Clear & Raytheon) Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/elon Elon is an experienced Backend/Data/Full Stack Software Engineer and team leader. He is recognized as a thought leader within the software engineering field and writes regularly on challenges facing software product teams. His combination of skill sets - software engineering, legal, and management - enable him to uniquely tackle problems. Steve Jobs once said "everyone should learn programming, because it teaches you how to think. You could also go to law school ... it teaches you how to think." Elon has taken Jobs' words to heart. The legal mind applied to development, design and technology is incredibly powerful. He believes that there are several essential ingredients for success. First, communication is essential. Having been part of many diverse teams, Elon catalyzes communication between engineering, design, product and other stakeholders. A second important ingredient is a work culture that values candor in communication. Elon subscribes to the methodology espoused in Creativity Inc, written by Ed Catamul, a founder of Pixar. Instead of having management dictate to their team what is right, Pixar encouraged candid and open discussion. Finally, it is important to be creative. Elon has both a process oriented mind, having a legal background, and a creative mind, having been a lifelong musician and songwriter. The ability to use both process and creative faculties when approaching problems enables him to see problems in many spectrums.
