What's your role?

I'm the Director of Business Development for Harled. That means I get to explore lots of difficult business problems, and look for opportunities to bring our team's design and engineering expertise to those areas. At the simplest level, I look to enable organizations (like yours!) with technology so that you can achieve your goals.

What is the secret to realizing a successful software project?

Think big, act small, and move quickly.

Our clients have real problems that need to be solved now - not in 6 months - and we have the technology and design expertise to build powerful solutions. We believe that V1 shipped this week to address your most important problems, is better than the final product shipped in a year while you've continued to fall further and further behind. We want to partner with organizations with difficult challenges and rapidly iterate on solutions that deliver deep and lasting value.

What emerging technology or industry are you most interested in?

I'm interested in discovering industries that haven't yet been revolutionized by technology. I want to hear about the hard problems that businesses face that leave them feeling like, "There HAS to be a better way."

I also think electric cars and trucks are pretty neat!

What's your word of the day?

Iterate. Life's projects are more fun when you take little steps quickly and often. Get started today, build in some feedback mechanisms, and strive for perfection over time.
