# Tania Abdollahi > Senior Software Engineer at Nava Benefits Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/taniaabdollahi My loved ones will begrudgingly confirm that I often spend my evenings rehearsing one measure from a song on my karaoke Spotify playlist over and over until I'm sure every note is in tune. Since the closest I’ll come to musical stardom is via the imaginary concerts hosted in my car on road trips, singing is only a hobby for me. But as with anything I choose to do, I enjoy the opportunity to show polish, finesse, and a touch of flair – even if my dog is the only audience. I’m driven by activities that engage my artistic nature and several years ago, I was pleased to discover that coding is a creative endeavor. I've been delighting in the inventive process of programming ever since. My idea of a fun time at work involves a ping-pong pair programming session that results in a well-organized, DRY RSpec test suite. Full disclosure, I sometimes sing aloud my debugging thought process, but only when there's no one around to hear me. I am currently looking for new opportunities!
