Kelvin Kissi Soft Skills Every Software Engineer
Should Have
Kelvin Kissi is a former Analyst at Hilton and
IHS Markit (SP Global). Hes also a software
engineer combining his passions for technology
and innovation, which led to him starting
auditing numerous smart contracts for various
startups in 2021. it was for an organic way to be
at the forefront of the blockchain technology
purpose, bringing new technological solutions to
people and making this emerging space for easy
navigation for those in need. Here are some of
the soft skills software engineer should have.

Emotional Intelligence
Although software engineers spend a lot of time
with machines, they still should have basic
empathy. They should have the capacity to
understand what other individuals are
experiencing at any given time. It also extends
to understanding the perspective of a
non-developer like a business analyst. Software
engineer soft skills start and end with the
fundamentals of human interactions, especially in
a high-stakes environment like software
development.

Open-Mindness Typically, businesses scale on
creativity and innovations, and most fail while
stuck in one place because you wont accept new
ideas. For the software industry in the past
decade, the waterfall method of linear
development was a downright classic in software
development. However, software engineers have now
moved on to the Agile methodology. It serves the
interests of end-users more, unlike the waterfall
model could.

5
Adaptability Adaptability leads to self
learning. In a technological world, new widgets
and tools are being developed and adopted every
day. as a software engineer, ensure you stay up
to date with the latest trend that could
potentially optimize your final product. An
adaptable software engineer utilizes a continuous
learning model in everyday work and wont be
afraid of getting uncomfortable

6
Collaboration Having collaboration skills goes
hand in hand with having excellent communication
skills. Software development is always a team
sport such that even if a software engineer will
walk alone, theres still a need to communicate
with project managers, designers, and customers,
among other people involved. Teamwork is worth
more than merely submitting work to a repository.
It also implies relying on other skills so the
team can move like a well-oiled machine.
