In this Wildfire Employee Spotlight, we're talking to Frank Bae, one of our software engineers who works on our white-label platform helping to enable our partners to create their own cashback loyalty programs.

1. **How long have you been with Wildfire?**  
   I have been at Wildfire for a little over 4 months since joining late October 2021.

2. **What are your main responsibilities at Wildfire?**  
   I’m a software engineer working on the Wildfire white-label cashback platform. I research and implement new features that our partners may be interested in. I also work on building out the cashback browser extensions that we offer our partners.

3. **Where did you work before Wildfire, and what were you doing?**  
   I was in education working with elementary school students and working at summer camps. During my time in education I had a huge interest in crypto and after some careful thinking decided to enroll in a web development bootcamp. After the bootcamp, I worked for a small startup as a front-end developer in creating crypto applications utilizing web3.js and Metamask.

4. **What are some things that you find different about Wildfire vs. past work experiences you’ve had?**  
   Compared to my past work experiences, at Wildfire I immediately noticed we have well-structured meaningful meetings. The team is respectful of everyone's time. The company has a lot of bright developers that I’m able to bounce ideas off of and everyone provides constructive feedback in a positive manner.

5. **What are 3 words you’d use to describe the culture at Wildfire?**  
   Collaborative, Innovative and Motivating.

6. **What are your 2 most favorite things about working here?**  
   Being able to work remotely, and collaborating with an incredible, down-to-earth team.

7. **Do you have any pets? Who, and what, are they?**  
   I currently do not have any pets, but would love a yorkie.

8. **What do you like to do on weekends / your spare time?**  
   Read the latest trends on crypto, watch documentaries, do archery, and explore new restaurants.

9. **What is your favorite place you’ve ever visited, and why?**  
   Oh man this is a tough one. If I had to choose one place it would definitely be Seoul, South Korea. I spent one year studying abroad there and got to experience the bustling nightlife, enjoy the food, and learn about the culture. Overall it was quite life-changing and broadened my horizons.

10. **What is one surprising thing about you that most people don’t know?**  
    I love candles (soy and beeswax) and actually have my own candle-making kit.

11. **Where would you like to retire?**  
    Most likely here in LA County/ Southern California because it doesn’t snow.
