N Now, we don’t only hire people from our own community. We, and other tech companies, appreciate contributing in general. [Thomas G Lopez](https://github.com/TGlide/), a front-end dev, is one of the people who has made notable contributions within the Svelte community. He even built [Melt UI](https://melt-ui.com/docs/introduction), an open-source collection of accessible and customizable component builders for creating user interfaces with Svelte. His contributions earned him the notable title of an official Svelte Ambassador. -If you have been around the Appwrite community, you must know [Aditya Oberai](https://github.com/adityaoberai). He actively participates in the larger tech and hackathon community and stumbled across Appwrite by chance on X. Now, one thing you need to know about Aditya is his unfair advantage: he is a networker. So when he discovered Appwrite, he noticed that he already knew many other contributors, which drew him in further and helped him land a job at Appwrite. +If you have been around the Appwrite community, you must know [Aditya Oberai](https://github.com/adityaoberai) by now.

Now, She leads our Design team and, with it, brings our brand and visual identity to new heights every day. She might not have contributed to the community, but as a designer, she put the work in with her portfolio. Also, she understands development as she has a [background](https://appwrite.io/blog/post/appwrite-decoded-sara-kaandorp/) in it. Therefore, there is no better designer we could wish for to lead all of our efforts. # How to stand out from the crowd -Finding the right team members is crucial for tech start-ups. When you are still building your company, there is little room for error, especially when it comes to building your team. Hiring the right people determines future success. So it’s about finding the needle in the haystack for employers like Appwrite, and for you to be that needle, you need to shine brighter than the rest. Now, this is not an unhealthy testimony to working day and night, every day, no fun, or any of that. On the contrary, we stand for healthy life balance and will force you to take leave if you like it or not. To stand out is to deliver quality work consistently, not quantity, to be eager to learn, receptive to feedback, and supportive of others. And if you missed this point, one thing is for sure: contributing to open source increases the chances of getting hired into a tech job. +Finding the right team members is crucial for tech start-ups.
