WEBVTT
1 00:06:24.650 ⇒ 00:06:24.950 Uttam Kumaran: Hey!
2 00:06:25.250 ⇒ 00:06:25.950 Jared Patterson: Hello!
3 00:06:26.650 ⇒ 00:06:27.809 Uttam Kumaran: How’s it going.
4 00:06:27.810 ⇒ 00:06:29.306 Jared Patterson: Good! How are you?
5 00:06:29.840 ⇒ 00:06:30.850 Uttam Kumaran: Florida.
6 00:06:31.060 ⇒ 00:06:35.929 Jared Patterson: Yeah, yeah, we’re we got here on Tuesday. We’re just here for till Sunday, just
7 00:06:36.340 ⇒ 00:06:39.349 Jared Patterson: hanging out kind of one last thing as a senior class.
8 00:06:39.800 ⇒ 00:06:40.250 Uttam Kumaran: Nice.
9 00:06:40.360 ⇒ 00:06:43.809 Uttam Kumaran: How’s it been so far? We went to my. We went to Myrtle Beach. I think.
10 00:06:44.130 ⇒ 00:06:50.754 Jared Patterson: Yeah, I went to more refreshing here with some of the guys on my team is pretty fun, Spot. It’s been awesome. The the weather’s super. Nice.
11 00:06:51.140 ⇒ 00:06:53.439 Jared Patterson: It’s crazy hot here, especially like
12 00:06:53.460 ⇒ 00:06:55.019 Jared Patterson: compared to what I’m used to.
13 00:06:55.020 ⇒ 00:06:55.550 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
14 00:06:55.550 ⇒ 00:06:56.849 Jared Patterson: Well, it’s been super nice.
15 00:06:57.150 ⇒ 00:07:21.969 Uttam Kumaran: Cool. I wanted to introduce you to Nicholas on my team. He is. He’s joined brain for just kind of like a project manager and was kind of handling basically, all of our projects. Kinda taking a lot off my plate. But also, I think, just gonna be basically another person like me, just overseeing every project and handling client communications.
16 00:07:22.618 ⇒ 00:07:33.460 Uttam Kumaran: So basically, everything that goes through me is is now gonna involve Nico, which is great. The reason to bring him on it and kind of part of the conversation I wanna have today is like where
17 00:07:33.460 ⇒ 00:07:57.348 Uttam Kumaran: I think there’s opportunity in brain forage. And I think this will kind of ebb and flow as as Nico gets, you know, more up to date. But I really think that one of the things we we really need a lot of help on is some like internal AI related automations. And then I can kind of describe. Some of those and some of what we’ve done, and some of what we’ve been working on for clients.
18 00:07:57.967 ⇒ 00:08:07.792 Uttam Kumaran: and then also opportunities that are that exist in data as well. So I I kind of wrote some of them down. But to give you like an overall understanding,
19 00:08:09.020 ⇒ 00:08:19.860 Uttam Kumaran: we’re as I mentioned, we’re like a client service business. So we have a ton of communication with clients, whether email, text or on zoom.
20 00:08:20.224 ⇒ 00:08:37.495 Uttam Kumaran: And basically what we do is we kind of broker those conversations get requirements in and then create issues for the team. And then those issues get worked on once they’re worked on, they then get basically like completed. And then we re-translate to the companies like, Hey, these are things that got done
21 00:08:37.809 ⇒ 00:08:57.640 Uttam Kumaran: in all of those situations there are tons of information, transfer and tons of text related. Transfer that really there’s a ton of opportunity for us to begin using AI and Zapier to begin automating. A lot of those for a good example, is even this meeting like it’s getting recorded. Once
22 00:08:57.640 ⇒ 00:09:09.469 Uttam Kumaran: this is done, the recording gets populated. It’s really simple for us to actually just get a summary of like what everybody talked about and what are the action items that frankly, will save us about.
23 00:09:09.640 ⇒ 00:09:18.890 Uttam Kumaran: I would say, probably like 15 to 30 min for every meeting. But it’s not only 1530 min raw. It’s actually like the context switch. You need to make to go
24 00:09:19.010 ⇒ 00:09:22.010 Uttam Kumaran: figure out and go watch the recording and get all the information.
25 00:09:22.140 ⇒ 00:09:31.469 Uttam Kumaran: So one of the things that I would. I’m interested to see if if you have any interested, is working on some of these sort of automations internally in the company that Leverage
26 00:09:31.490 ⇒ 00:09:56.969 Uttam Kumaran: Chat Gbt and openai to kind of do these sorts of summaries. Another thing is related to creating slack, like custom, gpt slack bots that have all the information about every client. So if we have a question, we can query the slack bot and get answers about the client or about the code base related to the client. As well as kind of helping Nico with some of his like weekly tasks for creating summaries and things like that.
27 00:09:57.410 ⇒ 00:10:13.032 Uttam Kumaran: I guess I’ll stop there. There’s I just put some ideas here. We’ve worked on some AI tasks for clients so internally, me and one other person have knowledge and kind of how to implement some of these. It’s definitely like, very, very new technology,
28 00:10:13.420 ⇒ 00:10:20.840 Uttam Kumaran: and a little bit like data adjacent. But let me know what like what you think. Just just hearing that overall.
29 00:10:21.230 ⇒ 00:10:24.487 Jared Patterson: Yeah, no, I’m I’m I’m super interested.
30 00:10:25.600 ⇒ 00:10:27.080 Jared Patterson: I guess. Like.
31 00:10:27.220 ⇒ 00:10:35.722 Jared Patterson: like all that stuff is interesting to me. And I mean, anyway, I can help. I’m looking to do that and just build my resume. Ultimately.
32 00:10:36.400 ⇒ 00:10:44.679 Jared Patterson: in saying that, like I do start full time, I have a job, and I’d mentioned to you like in July is not what I want to be doing. But
33 00:10:44.860 ⇒ 00:11:11.419 Jared Patterson: personally, I’d like to do something where you know, in the weeks leading up to my July start date. I’m working, doing whatever you guys need. And then, you know, even if once I start full time, I’m able to do a couple of hours a week, a few hours here and there, to continue growing that and helping you guys out helping myself. But at the same time. That’s what I’m looking to do. I don’t know if that works out time wise for you, for what you were kind of thinking about that. But that’s kind of where I’m the way I’m looking at it. And
34 00:11:11.950 ⇒ 00:11:17.459 Jared Patterson: I I seriously am super pumped about the opportunity, because I think it’ll it’ll be super helpful for me.
35 00:11:17.460 ⇒ 00:11:28.331 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. And I know, like a lot of the tasks that we initially talked on, we’re really data related. And I’m still really like finding, trying to find opportunity to to kind of fit you in on data tasks.
36 00:11:28.780 ⇒ 00:11:42.323 Uttam Kumaran: For me. It’s a balance of like what the company needs. And then, as Nico is just getting Nico just started this week, and is just getting ramped up. One of the kind of goals that he has is to figure out like, what’s our capacity for data projects?
37 00:11:42.947 ⇒ 00:12:06.639 Uttam Kumaran: Because that frees me to go get us a lot more work. So I would. I wouldn’t consider like doing this AI automation stuff is like, probably the the like long term thing. It’s what we need right now. But as we get more clients and figure out. I think there’s gonna be opportunity and then I I mean, I again, like whatever time you have that works. And then my hope is that
38 00:12:06.640 ⇒ 00:12:16.727 Uttam Kumaran: we can get more work and then actually give you an offer. And, like she like, be able to kind of get you for more time. But we’re just figuring it all out right now. So that’s
39 00:12:17.160 ⇒ 00:12:45.890 Uttam Kumaran: That’s kind of where we had to give you a sense of like what figuring out capacity means is, we have, like we have 4 or 5 other engineers right now that are working on a variety of tasks from data engineering to data, modeling to dashboarding and analysis. And I know you were you. Had you had done some work and analysis. I think that’s probably where you fit best, and you’ll get exposure to that by just seeing us in meetings and kind of seeing what everybody else works on. So just because you’re working on this stuff doesn’t mean
40 00:12:45.890 ⇒ 00:13:07.710 Uttam Kumaran: you’re not in other meetings, and people are doing demos all the time, and there is opportunity to go, you know, Shadow those folks, and that’s the kind of the big thing I wanted to give you. Some exposure on is seeing my workflow from like the high level. Seeing Nico’s workflow from like a project manager standpoint, and then seeing each of the engineers where you know, you’ll get to sit with each person and kind of understand
41 00:13:07.710 ⇒ 00:13:22.919 Uttam Kumaran: all the way from, like the most back end data stuff. Like, we’re pulling data from Apis all the way to running an analyses like how it works. And then also how that gets communicated. So that’s like what I’m thinking. And like again, I
42 00:13:23.030 ⇒ 00:13:29.941 Uttam Kumaran: the nervous, though I would say I’ll give you honest. But the nervousness that I have is that I wanna make sure that you get this isn’t just like,
43 00:13:30.320 ⇒ 00:13:34.430 Uttam Kumaran: okay, I’m just gonna give you like, run, do this little automation thing. And then, like.
44 00:13:34.770 ⇒ 00:13:45.941 Uttam Kumaran: log off, I actually want you to be able to see what a data analytics like organization is like and get exposure to the client to us, executing to then back to the client
45 00:13:46.350 ⇒ 00:13:50.420 Uttam Kumaran: and then get a sense of like if this is something you wanna do I think.
46 00:13:50.710 ⇒ 00:14:15.210 Uttam Kumaran: like this, these sort of automations are really, really important. And actually, by going in and automating these things, you will be forced to go talk to everybody involved. And that should give you really good exposure. And like, I’m trying to, I’m I’m actually trying to automate most the business so we can all work on the things that really matter, not like rewatching videos and doing summaries and things like that. So that’s a little bit of like where my my head is. On the whole thing.
47 00:14:15.440 ⇒ 00:14:19.850 Jared Patterson: Yeah, no, I I my sophomore year, I did an internship at a
48 00:14:20.790 ⇒ 00:14:22.310 Jared Patterson: It’s like a
49 00:14:22.720 ⇒ 00:14:29.919 Jared Patterson: they did a lot of tech and like printing stuff for these big like did a lot of password printing, or like E passwords, and all that stuff.
50 00:14:29.920 ⇒ 00:14:30.240 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
51 00:14:30.240 ⇒ 00:14:32.380 Jared Patterson: And this company. But I was working on
52 00:14:32.722 ⇒ 00:14:33.809 Jared Patterson: and it was like.
53 00:14:33.820 ⇒ 00:14:42.600 Jared Patterson: basically just pushed into this had no idea what I was really doing. But there’s a lot of stuff with power bi dashboarding automation. So I have a little bit of an understanding of it.
54 00:14:42.670 ⇒ 00:14:43.930 Jared Patterson: But I so I’m
55 00:14:44.160 ⇒ 00:14:48.153 Jared Patterson: I think if anything like that is helpful, especially just like you, you said
56 00:14:48.780 ⇒ 00:14:55.320 Jared Patterson: like. By having me do this, I’ll be required to integrate myself amongst the other people.
57 00:14:55.370 ⇒ 00:14:59.719 Jared Patterson: and at the same time I think it might be helpful for me just to kind of
58 00:14:59.910 ⇒ 00:15:05.140 Jared Patterson: shadow for a little bit, to get a good understanding of what exactly the business model is how the.
59 00:15:05.140 ⇒ 00:15:05.710 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
60 00:15:05.710 ⇒ 00:15:09.460 Jared Patterson: The ebbs and flows, and then from there kind of move into
61 00:15:09.630 ⇒ 00:15:15.299 Jared Patterson: the automation aspect, just because I don’t necessarily know. Like, if you were to be like, Okay, go, do this right now.
62 00:15:15.580 ⇒ 00:15:20.739 Jared Patterson: I’m going from 0 to 100. I don’t necessarily have the the tools on my belt to accomplish that.
63 00:15:20.740 ⇒ 00:15:41.629 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, totally. And and for each of these, you know, like, we’ll, we’ll put together like a a basic project plan, and everything will be ticketed out. And so this isn’t like Super silent on the side. It’ll it’ll be involved in everything. And through that you also see, like how we do stand ups like how we do project planning. And then in this situation, for some of these will be the client technically. But
64 00:15:41.630 ⇒ 00:15:59.289 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, I I I guess that’ll just make things a little bit simpler, but that’s what my hope is. And then the last thing I’ll mention is some of these tasks about AI and I. I’ve been spending like I price to spend the last year and a half like doing AI stuff. And I’m doing. We’re doing stuff now for clients, and AI is like this is
65 00:15:59.340 ⇒ 00:16:04.739 Uttam Kumaran: gonna put you in like another league in terms of productivity. One. But also.
66 00:16:04.810 ⇒ 00:16:24.540 Uttam Kumaran: I think, to put this on a resume and say, like, we built custom Gpts to automate certain tasks. And they’re related to a specific industry like data. I don’t like. I’m I look for people like that like that’s a great, I think that’s a great thing to have on a resume, and like a skill set that is not being taught anywhere, even in the workforce.
67 00:16:26.068 ⇒ 00:16:53.191 Uttam Kumaran: so that’s what I’m hoping is you’ll get some knowledge about even how to use some of these AI tools for like real, for like real world work. And then ideally, we kind of figure out like, Okay, is there any opportunity for us to use this to like, automate us writing some sequel. Automate us building dashboards like, get into that that level where it kind of brings both worlds together. It’s Comp. It’s it’s I will say it’s complicated. But there are basic building blocks to do this with no code, with some code, and then with all code, and we’ll kind of walk through it.
68 00:16:53.840 ⇒ 00:16:55.839 Uttam Kumaran: But I guess like that’s
69 00:16:55.880 ⇒ 00:17:03.870 Uttam Kumaran: that’s the gist I’m I’m pumped that like, you know, it’s it sounds like this is like this. This could work out, I guess. Let me know. What do you think about
70 00:17:04.329 ⇒ 00:17:07.299 Uttam Kumaran: what do you think about timeline? When do you start the next job?
71 00:17:08.180 ⇒ 00:17:15.290 Jared Patterson: So start date for the next job is July eighth, so I do have a bunch of time. Before that
72 00:17:15.310 ⇒ 00:17:17.369 Jared Patterson: I’ll be going home and kind of.
73 00:17:17.500 ⇒ 00:17:18.290 Jared Patterson: and I was.
74 00:17:18.609 ⇒ 00:17:24.282 Jared Patterson: I’ll I’ll be in Canada, but looking for apartments and blah blah blah stuff like that’s going on. But
75 00:17:25.180 ⇒ 00:17:31.249 Jared Patterson: I wasn’t really sure kinda I was more curious about what you had kind of hoped for in terms of like
76 00:17:31.540 ⇒ 00:17:35.382 Jared Patterson: you know how many hours you’d you want or
77 00:17:35.830 ⇒ 00:17:45.049 Jared Patterson: work best for you, or just obviously I need to. If I’m hopping on calls and stuff like that’s something that I need to know know ahead of time, so I’d like to plan ahead of time before that.
78 00:17:45.810 ⇒ 00:17:50.500 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think it’s gonna be hard to do this sort of work with anything less than like
79 00:17:50.790 ⇒ 00:17:52.220 Uttam Kumaran: 10 HA week.
80 00:17:53.086 ⇒ 00:17:58.909 Uttam Kumaran: So which is basically like 2 HA day. I would say. Probably
81 00:17:59.050 ⇒ 00:18:07.488 Uttam Kumaran: like I would say, probably 2 to 3 HA day gives you enough time to like, join a few meetings, and then actually get some of this work done.
82 00:18:08.276 ⇒ 00:18:14.110 Uttam Kumaran: If that’s works for you, then that would probably ideal anything less than 10
83 00:18:14.210 ⇒ 00:18:25.249 Uttam Kumaran: unless you’re like. Okay, I can let me dedicate to like Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Then it makes it probably make. Then then it’s probably a little bit easier, but
84 00:18:25.430 ⇒ 00:18:26.916 Uttam Kumaran: every day
85 00:18:27.840 ⇒ 00:18:49.789 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, it’ll be tough to kind of spread that thing. I think 10 HA week is probably like a great place to start, because that gives you enough time to to hop in like we have stand ups that will be running most days, and so you can hop into those. And then we have client meetings like with each client about once a week. And
86 00:18:50.280 ⇒ 00:18:58.739 Uttam Kumaran: and then we have, like ad hoc meetings to do demos and things like that. And then with the remaining time, basically can get applied to to working on this like, maybe we start at something like that.
87 00:18:59.110 ⇒ 00:19:01.140 Jared Patterson: Yeah, no, that works that works for me.
88 00:19:01.140 ⇒ 00:19:04.030 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. And then also, like we again, we have some.
89 00:19:04.330 ⇒ 00:19:06.240 Uttam Kumaran: We have a couple of other
90 00:19:06.250 ⇒ 00:19:08.741 Uttam Kumaran: other people that I’m also
91 00:19:09.270 ⇒ 00:19:27.799 Uttam Kumaran: discussing, bringing on as interns as well. Kind of like for summer that I’m kind of like getting. Oh, I just got mentioned about that like last week, so there may be an opportunity to actually like work with some other people that are kind of like just getting their feet wet on this. So that would be ideal that way you’re not like.
92 00:19:27.930 ⇒ 00:19:44.239 Uttam Kumaran: It’s not like you don’t feel too isolated. But at the same time I’m not going to show your code like this stuff is hard, and the stuff is like is serious. And it’s like we’re. We’re making money on it, and we’re delivering value for clients. So it’s it’s real but
93 00:19:44.390 ⇒ 00:19:51.920 Uttam Kumaran: I know that like when I was in your shoes, like having an opportunity to kind of see, this upfront was really really valuable. And so
94 00:19:52.080 ⇒ 00:20:01.143 Uttam Kumaran: I think through this whole process, the thing I’ll ask from you is like, just feedback on, like how things are going and we’ll set up some recurring meetings and stuff like that.
95 00:20:02.160 ⇒ 00:20:08.609 Uttam Kumaran: but yeah, I’m excited. And I I I hope this ends up being, you know, really fruitful whatever ends up happening. So.
96 00:20:08.610 ⇒ 00:20:17.511 Jared Patterson: Yeah, no, me, too. And I’m seriously super thankful for you. Just you know we’ve we’ve talked what is it? 3 or 4 times now. So I take, I appreciate you taking the time.
97 00:20:18.620 ⇒ 00:20:25.040 Jared Patterson: it’s definitely like coming from. I’m I’m an Econ major, but minors in data analytics so like.
98 00:20:25.310 ⇒ 00:20:30.890 Jared Patterson: and I wish if I could go back and redo it all, I’d be a Comps eye, Major, just looking at it now. But
99 00:20:31.331 ⇒ 00:20:36.420 Jared Patterson: I’m this stuff is really interesting me, and that’s why, like I’m so
100 00:20:36.660 ⇒ 00:20:42.819 Jared Patterson: down to to do whatever kind of it takes to to get my foot in the industry. So I appreciate it.
101 00:20:42.820 ⇒ 00:21:07.489 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, no amazing. So I think a couple of action items. So one is like, I’ll get you contract and stuff contract and like Nda over your way. And then we can kinda go back and forth on like pay and and structure and so we can decide on that I think I’ll make sure you get added to slack. Add to Gmail, and then we have, like some sort of like standing meeting.
102 00:21:08.120 ⇒ 00:21:22.500 Uttam Kumaran: and also just adding you to like our other meetings with. With that we have like, stand up, son, again. We’re changing some structure now that Nico’s here, but you’ll be involved in in in stuff.
103 00:21:26.050 ⇒ 00:21:29.570 Uttam Kumaran: And then we’ll kind of, I think
104 00:21:29.680 ⇒ 00:21:45.729 Uttam Kumaran: me and Nico will kind of figure out like the best way to kind of project. Manage this sort of work. Where, like, you have enough space to kind of run. But you also have all the tools that you need because again, both of us are going to be pretty locked in on the the rest of the company. But I wanna make sure that, like
105 00:21:45.760 ⇒ 00:21:55.889 Uttam Kumaran: with the context, you have like what I wrote here is just a couple of examples. But these need like a lot of requirements and fleshing out acceptance. So we’ll add those.
106 00:21:59.770 ⇒ 00:22:01.259 Uttam Kumaran: I guess
107 00:22:03.040 ⇒ 00:22:07.929 Uttam Kumaran: the other couple of things I will do is also try to give you a couple of
108 00:22:08.482 ⇒ 00:22:09.659 Uttam Kumaran: part of like
109 00:22:09.670 ⇒ 00:22:15.939 Uttam Kumaran: beyond just jumping into these ideas, I’ll also give you a little bit of like
110 00:22:16.300 ⇒ 00:22:21.229 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know. Curriculum sounds boring, but like kind of things that you should go read about
111 00:22:21.330 ⇒ 00:22:32.380 Uttam Kumaran: data and AI, and then also about like kind of running this sort of business. I think it’s stuff that like I read. And now I’m doing it so hopefully, that’ll give you like.
112 00:22:32.410 ⇒ 00:22:49.981 Uttam Kumaran: you know, some source material to kind of reference about how people are using AI in production, how people are like, how these sorts of data teams run and like the different roles. And then also, like how a you know consulting organization like this kind of runs. So let me try to put that together again. This will just be
113 00:22:50.620 ⇒ 00:22:59.117 Uttam Kumaran: like books and notes and blogs, and I just have like a bunch of stuff that I’ll actually it’s it’ll be nice because I’ll go reread some of those
114 00:23:00.430 ⇒ 00:23:03.550 Nicolas Sucari: It would be good, Otam, if you can send those to me so.
115 00:23:03.550 ⇒ 00:23:06.920 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, good, point, yeah, okay.
116 00:23:09.650 ⇒ 00:23:12.199 Jared Patterson: I was just gonna add, I’m not.
117 00:23:12.360 ⇒ 00:23:15.810 Jared Patterson: I guess I should probably double check with, like.
118 00:23:16.470 ⇒ 00:23:17.840 Jared Patterson: you know, the the
119 00:23:17.960 ⇒ 00:23:21.189 Jared Patterson: company I’m going to work with to ensure there’s no like
120 00:23:21.690 ⇒ 00:23:28.820 Jared Patterson: issues working well, I don’t. I mean, I honestly don’t know the answer to the question I I’m assuming there shouldn’t be, but I guess it’s also worth following up with.
121 00:23:28.820 ⇒ 00:23:34.169 Uttam Kumaran: No, I think it’s I think that’s totally fair. I would just mention that like, yeah, Hey, I’m like working. We’re also.
122 00:23:34.310 ⇒ 00:23:39.120 Uttam Kumaran: I guess one thing is about between now and July, and then there’s a question about like after.
123 00:23:39.120 ⇒ 00:23:40.409 Jared Patterson: Right, exactly.
124 00:23:40.410 ⇒ 00:23:59.620 Uttam Kumaran: So that’d be a good thing to ask about is like after July. Are you able to kind of handle that sort of? I mean, I think it’s still fair that we kind of move forward with this next month. But definitely go ask and then see. And at that point you also figure out your bandwidth and stuff. But again, I think even in in a month you’ll get a lot of experience. So.
125 00:23:59.950 ⇒ 00:24:02.950 Jared Patterson: No, I I that’s totally sounds like a great plan to me.
126 00:24:02.950 ⇒ 00:24:06.750 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. So I’ll just make sure. I’ll just note that down here, and then you can take a look.
127 00:24:17.830 ⇒ 00:24:19.505 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, great. And then let’s
128 00:24:20.650 ⇒ 00:24:29.160 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s keep this. Doc is like the running Doc, for like notes, and we’ll kind of add notes, and then maybe Nico will think about moving this notion eventually.
129 00:24:31.110 ⇒ 00:24:34.119 Uttam Kumaran: but yeah, I guess, Nico, I didn’t give you any
130 00:24:34.990 ⇒ 00:24:39.400 Uttam Kumaran: any radio air time. So let me, if you have any ideas or thoughts.
131 00:24:40.020 ⇒ 00:24:43.666 Nicolas Sucari: No just to see. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Jared.
132 00:24:44.000 ⇒ 00:24:51.200 Nicolas Sucari: hoping you can join us and start working with us. Helping with. I I think that if you help with these kind of stuff
133 00:24:51.605 ⇒ 00:25:18.654 Nicolas Sucari: automations for some of our things like internally, it will help a lot I’m just joining brain for joining good time on the team and trying to understand a little bit, also about what is like business about and how we are managing the relationship with clients, how we are delivering the work. And that stuff. And my focus will be as as what I’m said, trying to scope out like
134 00:25:19.080 ⇒ 00:25:46.040 Nicolas Sucari: what is like like our timelines, and to see if we have bandwidth with the team to get more and more clients but also to standardize a lot of processes and stuff so that we can have like more documentation and stuff of what we are doing and how we are doing. So I think if you join you will see from scratch, because we are starting from scratch and how we are building all of these. And I think it’s great because I’ve worked in
135 00:25:46.040 ⇒ 00:25:55.649 Nicolas Sucari: in, in, in other companies, in software development companies. And every company has different processes. But to build something from scratch. You can be a part of that. And it’s really really useful.
136 00:25:57.460 ⇒ 00:26:05.921 Jared Patterson: Yeah, no, Nico. It’s it’s a pleasure to meet you as well. I just wanna also mention I didn’t. I didn’t. I don’t know if I said it sets earlier. But
137 00:26:06.180 ⇒ 00:26:10.750 Jared Patterson: whatever you guys need, whether, like I, I’m not, you know, just because it’s not
138 00:26:10.910 ⇒ 00:26:14.310 Jared Patterson: data or AI, whatever I’m I’m just
139 00:26:14.950 ⇒ 00:26:20.740 Jared Patterson: coming right out of school. And wanna whether it’s soft skills, hard skills. I just wanna learn
140 00:26:20.820 ⇒ 00:26:24.879 Jared Patterson: and be able to make an impact. So whatever you guys need, just don’t hesitate to ask me.
141 00:26:25.140 ⇒ 00:26:26.420 Uttam Kumaran: Cool. Right?
142 00:26:27.150 ⇒ 00:26:40.100 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. So there’s some follow ups here and we’ll I guess Nico will chat and like, just see how we wanna split some of these up and it’s actually nice, because maybe we can standardize some of these like adding to slack and everything for like new employee. Stuff
143 00:26:40.665 ⇒ 00:26:50.429 Uttam Kumaran: and then we’ll get back to you, Jared, hopefully. By Monday. I’m in Philly for a wedding and stuff until Sunday. But I will get back to you with a contract.
144 00:26:50.821 ⇒ 00:26:55.127 Uttam Kumaran: and then at you’ll get added to slack and and gmail and everything.
145 00:26:55.790 ⇒ 00:27:03.300 Jared Patterson: Yeah, no, I was. Gonna say, I don’t. I’ll probably I get back Sunday and I’ll drive back home Monday. So I
146 00:27:03.390 ⇒ 00:27:08.439 Jared Patterson: Tuesday kind of be the the best day for me for anything, and and in general alright.
147 00:27:09.480 ⇒ 00:27:10.650 Uttam Kumaran: Alright, thanks. Jeff.
148 00:27:10.650 ⇒ 00:27:11.090 Nicolas Sucari: Great.
149 00:27:11.090 ⇒ 00:27:12.600 Uttam Kumaran: Thank you. What’s it?
150 00:27:12.600 ⇒ 00:27:14.759 Nicolas Sucari: Thank you very much. Bye, bye.
