"Like many engineers, I started my career as a member of a development team. As time went on, I assumed additional responsibilities to increase my skills and learn more about software development. I took to this naturally and enjoyed the challenges it presented. After working as a development engineer for several years, one of my managers asked if I'd like to become a team lead. I accepted their offer and enthusiastically. At first, it was challenging having to direct the activities of my former peers. Still, I grew into the role, and now I'm very comfortable leading teams of creative engineers in software development efforts."
