Your Title: Senior Developer
Best thing about your work?
Being able to create new features and processes in collaboration with our clients to deliver solutions that work well for our clients, their consumers, and our platform. It’s fulfilling to see new features adopted and incorporated into the success of our clients.
Worst thing about your work?
Not having enough time to fix everything and deliver new features can be frustrating. But not as frustrating as an internet outage.
Dream job?
I’m already living the dream. I get to apply my skills and talents in a productive way to create new things. I have a great boss, wonderful coworkers, and fabulous clients… hard to ask for more.
“Law and Order” or “Abbott Elementary”
I am not familiar with Abbott Elementary. While I have actually watched a few episodes of Law & Order, I’m much more likely to be watching an episode of Dr. Who or a new sci-fi movie hitting the streaming services if I don’t have my nose stuck between pages of a book.
Last Book Read?
I read a lot of books, often at the same time. Some of my recently finished reading: Dune series (again), Wonder, The Art of War by Sun Tzu (translated by Lionel Gates, Barton Williams, and Sian Kim).
Vacation: Beach or City or Mountain?
Definitely outdoors, preferably some place yet to be discovered, or already forgotten, by social media.
Single best piece of advice you have for eCELLAR users?
Test, test, test. Many parts of eCELLAR are complex, with a lot of configurable settings. Go through your club remix, allocation, web, and reservation processes as a consumer to ensure all the settings are correct.
