She studied law, but her future was in technology, and there was no traditional route to follow. In this Black History Month episode, host…
Yeah, I can definitely see how those transferable skills are super useful, especially as your role in infrastructure transformation specialists.
I know that I myself have worked as a solution engineer and therefore I kind of have done similar roles to you as what you're doing currently.
But I kind of wanted to get an understanding as to what does your role specifically involve? Because I know some people might be wondering, what does it actually mean? Is this something that I might be interested in? And I'm always very interested in shedding a light on careers that people might not be aware of, because oftentimes when people think of technology, they just think of a software engineer or a developer.
So I'd say day to day, what it looks like is me going into different companies, different stakeholders, whatever the case might be, and then understanding initially, what is their problem? What are their pain points? So having a look at what's working, what's not working? What's kind of OK today and having a look at that as is landscape, as we call it.
So what's the same right now? And then with that information, I and my team might go back, have a look at whatever it is, the process that they're doing, and then have a look at joining the pieces together.
So it might be part A is struggling to run because part B is broken or part B is struggling to run because part A is way too advanced for what's going on.
And what we can do then is kind of come back, strategize that and then present something back to the client that we have.
It's all about, like I said, it's not just the technology, it's the people, it's the processes, it's the business.
It's coming to them with something and working with them to figure out something that might work.
So, for example, let's say, like we said from the beginning, part A is struggling because of part B.
But again, it's all about talking to people, figuring out those solutions, and then making sure that everything kind of falls in place and aligning them.
