What's your role?
I am the Operations Manager for Harled Inc, which means I am responsbile for ensuring the smooth and effective operation of the company in support of all of the great technical work the team is delivering. This includes accounting, finance, talent and people ops as well as marketing.
What is the secret to realizing a successful software project?
Making sure that you always keep the user top of mind and making sure that there is alignment between business goals and development. In my role, it is also incredibly important to ensure that the business is supporting the technical members so that they can focus on what they do best.
What emerging technology or industry are you most interested in?
Coming from a non-technical background, I find the no-code movement very interesting. There are a lot of business processes that I need to manage and having an easy way to add smarts to the process without a full-out development investment would not only change how Harled works but how business at large would work.
What's your word of the day?
Camaraderie. You can go fast alone, but you can only go far together! There is nothing more satisfying that winning as a team.
