12 00:03:24.650 00:03:41.470 Nicolas Sucari: to understand a little bit more of everything. And yeah, I will meet today with him again. And well, I I will show him the tasks that we have ready for him, so he can start working on the stuff. I don’t know. I don’t know if he accepted the invitation for Github yet.

13 00:03:41.923 00:03:43.870 Nicolas Sucari: Do you know, have you received any notification.

14 00:03:43.870 00:03:47.820 Uttam Kumaran: I haven’t received anything. Did he say? He sent it to me already?

15 00:03:48.530 00:03:53.270 Nicolas Sucari: No, I I invited him directly through Github, like.

16 00:03:53.270 00:03:54.330 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay.

17 00:03:54.790 00:03:55.799 Uttam Kumaran: I went to this.

18 00:03:55.800 00:03:56.540 Nicolas Sucari: And.

19 00:03:57.010 00:03:59.732 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, you added him to the full parts team, or like

20 00:03:59.980 00:04:01.240 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

21 00:04:01.240 00:04:02.180 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

22 00:04:02.960 00:04:05.600 Uttam Kumaran: it should have went. I could double check today. Yeah.

23 00:04:07.799 00:04:11.989 Nicolas Sucari: Go to people. Yeah. Now, the invitation is pending yet.

24 00:04:15.530 00:04:16.579 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I don’t know.

25 00:04:17.370 00:04:18.019 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

26 00:04:18.029 00:04:21.979 Nicolas Sucari: And I, I added him to the team. But yeah, I’m gonna ask him today again if

27 00:04:22.599 00:04:28.039 Nicolas Sucari: I I added him for to data team because we have different teams set up. I think.

28 00:04:28.639 00:04:29.739 Nicolas Sucari: I added.

29 00:04:29.740 00:04:31.000 Uttam Kumaran: It’s a hierarchy.

30 00:04:31.750 00:04:32.730 Nicolas Sucari: Oh, okay.

31 00:04:33.670 00:04:34.620 Nicolas Sucari: Didn’t know.

32 00:04:36.746 00:04:43.670 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. I think I I added him to to pull parts to go team and data team those 2 only.

33 00:04:46.100 00:04:51.919 Nicolas Sucari: even though I, until he accepts the invitation. I can’t see him in the teams.

34 00:04:52.280 00:04:53.110 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Okay.

35 00:04:56.350 00:05:03.139 Nicolas Sucari: But yeah, I think it went okay, today, I’m gonna try to get some time with him so that I can see if he

36 00:05:03.600 00:05:05.540 Nicolas Sucari: was able to join.

37 00:05:05.630 00:05:11.789 Nicolas Sucari: Did you have to clone the repo and that kind of stuff and start working on on those tasks? Yep.

38 00:05:12.230 00:05:18.010 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I feel like, for the most part, he’s just going to need to get familiar with real

39 00:05:18.831 00:05:22.919 Uttam Kumaran: and then, probably just familiar with

40 00:05:23.010 00:05:25.110 Uttam Kumaran: the code base like after that.

41 00:05:25.110 00:05:25.510 Nicolas Sucari: You know.

42 00:05:25.784 00:05:37.709 Uttam Kumaran: But he has. He has all the access. So I think the big thing is just for him to spend time understanding the requirements and understanding the current code base. How was, how was was Ryan? Was Ryan helpful in explaining stuff during that meeting?

43 00:05:38.230 00:05:48.650 Nicolas Sucari: Yes, yes, yes. Ryan helped us explain. How we are getting the data from the data sources. Yeah, it. It was really good.

44 00:05:49.530 00:05:50.380 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Great.

45 00:05:51.820 00:05:52.420 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

46 00:05:52.420 00:05:52.760 Uttam Kumaran: Think.

47 00:05:52.760 00:05:53.180 Nicolas Sucari: Correct.

48 00:05:53.180 00:05:59.310 Uttam Kumaran: And stuff like that. I think. Over time again. We just can throw that into documentation.

49 00:05:59.740 00:06:07.770 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, i i i shared with Rush, like we have in in our documentation page in notion, we have like a lot of

50 00:06:08.270 00:06:11.600 Nicolas Sucari: interesting dogs or, yeah, so that he can start.

51 00:06:11.600 00:06:13.100 Uttam Kumaran: I also don’t you, too.

52 00:06:13.100 00:06:13.520 Nicolas Sucari: Stood up.

53 00:06:13.520 00:06:14.460 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

54 00:06:14.580 00:06:22.119 Uttam Kumaran: I also started to segment the docs by client. So you can see that there are docs related to pool parts. There’s docs

55 00:06:22.220 00:06:25.420 Uttam Kumaran: that are just related, like, overall to the company.

56 00:06:26.730 00:06:33.830 Uttam Kumaran: And then, yeah, as soon as we get this, like, as soon as we get this, yeah, if you go to documentation, you’ll see that there’s some new views

57 00:06:33.850 00:06:36.087 Uttam Kumaran: I was gonna show you tomorrow.

58 00:06:36.590 00:06:40.539 Uttam Kumaran: But there’s I. I had a I had a client there also as a property.

59 00:06:40.540 00:06:42.929 Nicolas Sucari: Okay. Client documents, perfect.

60 00:06:43.500 00:06:45.652 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. And then the other thing is

61 00:06:46.130 00:06:50.279 Uttam Kumaran: As soon as this relevance thing is kind of up and running, I’m gonna go and

62 00:06:50.440 00:07:01.991 Uttam Kumaran: go to the go through the backlog of Like. We have a bunch of old videos that we recorded, and stuff that I will take in and turn into documentation. And then also, you know, I want to work on

63 00:07:02.510 00:07:09.170 Uttam Kumaran: docs for Stella. But the relevant stuff like I was spending some time yesterday. It’s gonna make a big impact. So it’s just

64 00:07:09.540 00:07:11.560 Uttam Kumaran: that’s just taking a little bit of time.

65 00:07:14.920 00:07:16.286 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, okay.

66 00:07:17.640 00:07:32.460 Nicolas Sucari: I think. Yeah. I also shared some some of the how to guides that we have there to how to set up real evidence, and all of that stuff. I think what it will be good I can. I can try and

67 00:07:33.220 00:07:56.680 Nicolas Sucari: prepare like a page with some of these links not create them new, but just like reference them in in one page, like, if if or the one that you created like for the 1st week 1st month. Like to add there some of these pages with the how to guide, so that anyone who joins can follow easy steps on setting up everything.

68 00:07:56.980 00:07:59.200 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, exactly like, basically, I think

69 00:07:59.220 00:08:02.760 Uttam Kumaran: you know, I’m also gonna create like a tools database. But ideally.

70 00:08:02.760 00:08:03.220 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

71 00:08:03.220 00:08:08.869 Uttam Kumaran: All the documentation ends up in documentation and gets, yeah, exactly in other places. You know.

72 00:08:08.870 00:08:13.469 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah, perfect. Yeah, that’s that was my idea, too. Like to have another page where we

73 00:08:13.480 00:08:20.069 Nicolas Sucari: have all our tools or in that boarding page. But everything referenced to here to the documentation.

74 00:08:20.780 00:08:27.359 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, exactly. And then again, like one of the tasks for Miguel is going to be to

75 00:08:27.410 00:08:39.900 Uttam Kumaran: take a look at, you know, going through the backlog of stuff. So right now we’re going from Zoom Transcript to meeting notes. We’ll also go from Zoom Transcript to the documentation as well.

76 00:08:40.220 00:08:41.270 Uttam Kumaran: And

77 00:08:41.690 00:08:42.420 Uttam Kumaran: and

78 00:08:43.500 00:08:46.399 Uttam Kumaran: like we’ll, we’ll we’ll start doing a bunch of other stuff.

79 00:08:46.776 00:08:51.080 Uttam Kumaran: So yeah, this that should populate really nicely. And again, the biggest thing is like

80 00:08:51.250 00:08:56.870 Uttam Kumaran: if we find out that docs are need more. Or, for example, you you went through

81 00:08:57.020 00:09:05.560 Uttam Kumaran: meeting with Siraj yesterday, and you’re like, Hey, I wish we had docs on Xyv. I think I don’t know. Like, what do you think? Should we just like note that down somewhere, or like

82 00:09:05.620 00:09:15.989 Uttam Kumaran: maybe you should put a comment in the document, saying, like, Hey, this is missing, Xyz, because I want to make sure that while we’re in the moment of like onboarding someone, and we notice that there are gaps.

83 00:09:16.240 00:09:17.750 Uttam Kumaran: You know. We can improve that.

84 00:09:19.060 00:09:19.900 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

85 00:09:20.400 00:09:21.920 Nicolas Sucari: Okay. Yeah. I think.

86 00:09:21.920 00:09:26.030 Uttam Kumaran: Or or you should, or you could, ask him to to do that. I don’t know.

87 00:09:26.030 00:09:36.519 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah, I’m gonna I’m gonna ask suresh, like, I think he’s spending time now with the in Snowflake to understand all of the data. But yeah, once we

88 00:09:36.862 00:09:42.309 Nicolas Sucari: finish, like the 1st week, I can ask him like what would be nice or what he would like to.

89 00:09:42.490 00:09:47.199 Nicolas Sucari: or what he that didn’t have the 1st week, and it would be good.

90 00:09:47.770 00:09:48.240 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

91 00:09:48.240 00:10:02.814 Nicolas Sucari: People who join us after him. And yeah, we can work on that. And during the meeting, probably we can just take notes, and then, if there is like a pending documentation or something that we don’t have there, we can create a task on Github and work on it.

92 00:10:03.740 00:10:04.380 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

93 00:10:04.380 00:10:05.760 Nicolas Sucari: I think, yeah.

94 00:10:06.360 00:10:07.180 Nicolas Sucari: I don’t know.

95 00:10:08.690 00:10:17.149 Nicolas Sucari: because I I was thinking, like, if we had, I like a comment on this table and documentation like nobody’s gonna see the comment. Actually, I think.

96 00:10:17.150 00:10:18.160 Uttam Kumaran: Better to sound like that.

97 00:10:18.160 00:10:19.630 Nicolas Sucari: Task in Github.

98 00:10:20.180 00:10:25.230 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, makes sense. Look. I think maybe you can create one in the backlog for him. That’s just update dot.

99 00:10:25.230 00:10:25.640 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

100 00:10:25.640 00:10:29.760 Uttam Kumaran: And then we can assign. We could maybe bring it in like a week or 2

101 00:10:29.990 00:10:31.890 Uttam Kumaran: that way. He can go back. And

102 00:10:32.080 00:10:37.969 Uttam Kumaran: again I I’d rather the people that are working on the thing update documentation because they’ll make things crystal clear.

103 00:10:38.220 00:10:45.569 Uttam Kumaran: you know. And then, now, the documentation structure, like I did a bunch of notion stuff this week. So everything is like very clean now.

104 00:10:45.580 00:10:48.040 Uttam Kumaran: And I also added a Wiki page. So

105 00:10:48.260 00:10:50.959 Uttam Kumaran: like there’s a home page for everybody, and then,

106 00:10:51.770 00:10:54.490 Uttam Kumaran: You know, it’ll start to get a little bit better, and then

107 00:10:55.110 00:10:59.140 Uttam Kumaran: as soon as the Zoom Meeting stuff gets gets going to

108 00:10:59.535 00:11:02.540 Uttam Kumaran: it’ll become very, very easy for us to.

109 00:11:02.950 00:11:06.930 Uttam Kumaran: you know. Basically have meetings. We already get the summaries.

110 00:11:07.060 00:11:11.380 Uttam Kumaran: If it’s like a if we want. If we want a documentation out of it.

111 00:11:11.480 00:11:14.670 Uttam Kumaran: They can click a button like there’ll be a lot of easy things there.

112 00:11:17.480 00:11:18.400 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. Great.

113 00:11:18.800 00:11:21.150 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. The wiki is is looking nice.

114 00:11:25.540 00:11:26.659 Nicolas Sucari: Okay? Cool?

115 00:11:28.660 00:11:29.020 Uttam Kumaran: I’m talking.

116 00:11:29.020 00:11:33.129 Nicolas Sucari: Today we’re having. Yeah, we have a meeting with Kim and Chuck.

117 00:11:33.280 00:11:39.360 Nicolas Sucari: and I don’t know what what was the issue on Unix yesterday there were some tubes.

118 00:11:39.930 00:11:46.580 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, something on their side, like, I think you’re on the email thread, right? Or I’ll keep adding you. I think I’m just in a bunch.

119 00:11:47.140 00:11:55.800 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I think you you added me because I think Chuck sent an email. And I was not aware on anything. And then I I saw your message on the Channel, and then you had.

120 00:11:55.800 00:11:56.690 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

121 00:11:56.690 00:11:57.730 Nicolas Sucari: That thread.

122 00:11:57.890 00:12:02.520 Uttam Kumaran: It was out of it was a little bit out of nowhere but I don’t believe it’s

123 00:12:02.950 00:12:04.030 Uttam Kumaran: like anything to do with.

124 00:12:04.030 00:12:04.379 Nicolas Sucari: Or not.

125 00:12:04.380 00:12:05.750 Uttam Kumaran: Really, so yeah.

126 00:12:07.190 00:12:08.800 Nicolas Sucari: But just in.

127 00:12:09.020 00:12:11.579 Nicolas Sucari: and like he didn’t answer right. Yes.

128 00:12:11.580 00:12:16.013 Uttam Kumaran: No, no, he answered, and he looped in some other people, so I’ll just keep looping you in

129 00:12:16.260 00:12:17.050 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

130 00:12:17.280 00:12:21.160 Uttam Kumaran: And I’ll or I’ll or I’ll just. I’ll keep forwarding them to you as I get them.

131 00:12:21.688 00:12:24.870 Uttam Kumaran: If there’s especially if there’s any actions on our side.

132 00:12:25.010 00:12:25.935 Uttam Kumaran: So

133 00:12:27.080 00:12:28.939 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, I was stuck. I heard that.

134 00:12:31.000 00:12:31.690 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

135 00:12:34.450 00:12:35.260 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

136 00:12:36.910 00:12:39.459 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, we have. I don’t know if we have.

137 00:12:39.470 00:12:41.795 Nicolas Sucari: I’m gonna ask Jack about

138 00:12:42.810 00:12:50.399 Nicolas Sucari: All of the things that we have there on the board. I I think we are doing okay with Jack. If you

139 00:12:50.480 00:12:53.030 Nicolas Sucari: managed to work on the zip codes

140 00:12:53.592 00:12:57.850 Nicolas Sucari: thing. And yeah, he was trying to

141 00:12:58.020 00:13:04.510 Nicolas Sucari: set a new role in shopify that. I think you’ve you finished working that on ship station, right?

142 00:13:04.530 00:13:08.199 Nicolas Sucari: So that we can type correctly each of the orders.

143 00:13:08.650 00:13:10.810 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, exactly. So that’s all good.

144 00:13:11.440 00:13:12.060 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, exactly.

145 00:13:12.060 00:13:14.650 Uttam Kumaran: I think the meetings today basically will just

146 00:13:14.990 00:13:18.130 Uttam Kumaran: there that Siraj is taking over for Jacob

147 00:13:18.550 00:13:19.563 Uttam Kumaran: and that

148 00:13:20.530 00:13:23.869 Uttam Kumaran: you know. Next week you’ll probably grab some time with everybody.

149 00:13:24.700 00:13:26.660 Uttam Kumaran: To spend talking about

150 00:13:27.351 00:13:33.669 Uttam Kumaran: data. And then, yeah, ideally, like, I want him to have a real to be really, really comfortable

151 00:13:33.770 00:13:36.547 Uttam Kumaran: with the data models and the

152 00:13:37.200 00:13:38.660 Uttam Kumaran: actual like,

153 00:13:39.830 00:13:42.550 Uttam Kumaran: with rel. And then actually like what the

154 00:13:42.670 00:13:46.080 Uttam Kumaran: key things those dashboards are solving before he can go in

155 00:13:46.468 00:13:47.781 Uttam Kumaran: but yeah, I think

156 00:13:48.120 00:13:50.857 Uttam Kumaran: I think the big thing is I just wanna make sure he doesn’t feel like

157 00:13:51.250 00:13:55.439 Uttam Kumaran: abandoned or anything. So just keep a close eye on and loop me in. If you need anything.

158 00:13:56.320 00:13:59.286 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, perfect. Do you? Do you want

159 00:13:59.980 00:14:05.669 Nicolas Sucari: to invite Siraj to those meetings with Kim and Chuck, or do you? Wanna just

160 00:14:05.880 00:14:06.390 Nicolas Sucari: we.

161 00:14:06.390 00:14:11.740 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I would I I no, I would. I would have him there that way. He can just listen in. And even if it’s quick

162 00:14:12.276 00:14:12.849 Uttam Kumaran: it’s fine.

163 00:14:12.850 00:14:13.470 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, okay.

164 00:14:13.690 00:14:15.030 Nicolas Sucari: okay. I’m gonna add him.

165 00:14:16.260 00:14:18.600 Uttam Kumaran: Cause. I kind of want him to own those meetings.

166 00:14:18.880 00:14:22.239 Uttam Kumaran: basically. So I want I want him to meet them. And then

167 00:14:23.810 00:14:25.640 Uttam Kumaran: basically, we could talk about how

168 00:14:26.920 00:14:32.380 Uttam Kumaran: I think we we still had some updates for her on the direct mail stuff on the tax stuff.

169 00:14:33.785 00:14:34.540 Uttam Kumaran: So.

170 00:14:36.070 00:14:36.710 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

171 00:14:37.930 00:14:38.790 Nicolas Sucari: perfect.

172 00:14:40.510 00:14:41.750 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. Great

173 00:14:43.490 00:14:49.890 Nicolas Sucari: And then on the stellar side Nick, he has already been working on the task that

174 00:14:50.030 00:14:55.490 Nicolas Sucari: Robert sent us. Yesterday he left some comments on the task.

175 00:14:55.680 00:14:59.679 Nicolas Sucari: So I’m gonna ask Robert to take a look. But I think we’re doing okay.

176 00:15:00.150 00:15:00.780 Uttam Kumaran: Events.

177 00:15:01.110 00:15:07.490 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, the I. So I I tried to look into. If you can prevent the issues from closing.

178 00:15:07.530 00:15:09.980 Uttam Kumaran: and it doesn’t look like it’s possible.

179 00:15:10.020 00:15:13.410 Uttam Kumaran: So what I what I think we should do is

180 00:15:14.150 00:15:17.000 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna see if like, if there’s a comment

181 00:15:17.280 00:15:19.769 Uttam Kumaran: on an issue, it gets posted

182 00:15:21.840 00:15:27.900 Uttam Kumaran: it gets posted to the slack channel. Or I’m gonna ask Robert to like, just have his

183 00:15:28.050 00:15:31.149 Uttam Kumaran: email notification on for comments, because.

184 00:15:32.310 00:15:35.009 Uttam Kumaran: like, otherwise, he’s gonna miss it. I don’t know

185 00:15:36.060 00:15:36.780 Uttam Kumaran: like

186 00:15:37.100 00:15:40.780 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know, or or what we should do is like, have some process where like, if

187 00:15:41.190 00:15:44.640 Uttam Kumaran: if there’s a comment after it closes, it reopens, or

188 00:15:44.720 00:15:48.010 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know, like I just wanna make sure that that issue doesn’t happen again.

189 00:15:48.700 00:15:53.848 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, no, I I was checking all of the all of the tasks I I think.

190 00:15:54.460 00:16:11.740 Nicolas Sucari: I I use like the filter for repository on the view by status on the project tracker, and we don’t have like so many tickets there on the Stella one. So I think it’s easy like to check the ones that close. And once we we

191 00:16:12.010 00:16:18.719 Nicolas Sucari: finally closed one of the tasks, and we don’t need to work on anything else. I just kind of archive, it so.

192 00:16:19.280 00:16:22.149 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, perfect. So it doesn’t show up there. Yeah.

193 00:16:22.150 00:16:32.929 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. So it doesn’t show up. Yeah, exactly. And if we need to to just send one of those ones that that isn’t done back to in progress or any other state. I can just move it.

194 00:16:33.950 00:16:38.820 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I know we we previously were starting to archive everything and done so

195 00:16:38.850 00:16:41.270 Uttam Kumaran: we’ll we’ll just keep trying to do that. Basically

196 00:16:41.370 00:16:42.060 Uttam Kumaran: things.

197 00:16:43.280 00:16:48.840 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah, I was, I was doing that last week. And yeah, that’s why, like Stella, one is pretty

198 00:16:48.910 00:16:56.110 Nicolas Sucari: simple. Now, the board we have just the the tickets that we were working on these past 2 weeks. And yeah, I can do the same on boards.

199 00:16:58.010 00:16:58.850 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Grant.

200 00:16:59.140 00:17:02.650 Nicolas Sucari: So that we have, like a clean week start next week.

201 00:17:03.260 00:17:07.530 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. And then for pool part side, I think for the most part it should just be

202 00:17:07.589 00:17:10.035 Uttam Kumaran: Jesse Ryan and

203 00:17:11.119 00:17:12.680 Uttam Kumaran: absolutely. And I think.

204 00:17:12.760 00:17:13.989 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think yeah.

205 00:17:14.230 00:17:19.040 Uttam Kumaran: On Ryan’s side. It should be just like modeling. And then making sure that there’s no

206 00:17:19.400 00:17:21.040 Uttam Kumaran: like Github errors.

207 00:17:21.599 00:17:22.310 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

208 00:17:23.109 00:17:29.470 Uttam Kumaran: I think Siraj hopefully, can take over everything. So that’s why I wanted to set expectations very clear that it’s like

209 00:17:29.560 00:17:33.589 Uttam Kumaran: he’s gonna be owning like creating dashboards, working with the client like

210 00:17:33.700 00:17:37.880 Uttam Kumaran: I I don’t I, although I want there to be some overlap between you guys so that

211 00:17:38.220 00:17:40.750 Uttam Kumaran: not like he doesn’t rely on you completely.

212 00:17:43.260 00:17:51.970 Uttam Kumaran: You know that like, we set a good precedent when he joined that like, okay, he’s gonna he should have responsibility over, you know, gathering requirements, if possible, and.

213 00:17:52.140 00:17:54.009 Uttam Kumaran: you know, kind of managing his own stuff.

214 00:17:54.920 00:17:56.190 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, perfect.

215 00:17:57.830 00:17:58.710 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

216 00:17:59.040 00:18:11.199 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, I think we are. We are okay. Sureaj was a little bit kind of asking about real. And if we were gonna be using, like other visualization tool with other clients.

217 00:18:11.967 00:18:19.719 Nicolas Sucari: I just mentioned that it will depend on what the client needs. And yeah, probably pull parts is kind of

218 00:18:20.070 00:18:26.850 Nicolas Sucari: they. They only tried to look at the measures and the numbers, and not so visual stuff.

219 00:18:26.960 00:18:32.770 Nicolas Sucari: But yeah, probably in the future will need more evidence, work or other tool, right?

220 00:18:33.460 00:18:42.190 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, exactly. So I’ll I’m gonna have a garage every week. And mainly I’m just gonna try to see whether he’s having any issues. I mean again, the biggest

221 00:18:42.220 00:18:45.419 Uttam Kumaran: thing that I’m foresee is like, maybe he can’t get

222 00:18:45.570 00:18:49.259 Uttam Kumaran: he he can’t get real to like load locally. Or

223 00:18:49.690 00:18:50.380 Uttam Kumaran: Hey.

224 00:18:50.760 00:18:51.360 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, baby.

225 00:18:51.360 00:18:52.369 Nicolas Sucari: Yes, questions, about.

226 00:18:52.370 00:18:54.170 Uttam Kumaran: The about the the

227 00:18:54.550 00:18:56.130 Uttam Kumaran: the models. But again, like

228 00:18:56.580 00:18:58.219 Uttam Kumaran: that should be just normal stuff.

229 00:18:59.110 00:19:04.999 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah. And I. And I also let him know that I will be helping him on that stuff, too.

230 00:19:05.357 00:19:15.769 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, he was like a little bit more concerned about these tools being more code based. And he was working before on tableau or power bi that are not like

231 00:19:15.970 00:19:19.260 Nicolas Sucari: configured by the code is just like,

232 00:19:20.040 00:19:22.960 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, he can create a views on the

233 00:19:23.070 00:19:23.710 Nicolas Sucari: on the tour.

234 00:19:23.710 00:19:25.150 Uttam Kumaran: Ui, yeah.

235 00:19:25.150 00:19:27.390 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah on the ui. So

236 00:19:27.510 00:19:37.999 Nicolas Sucari: yeah. But I think, like it’s i i mentioned, like, if you if he has like the right models, and he understands what he needs to show unreal like. It’s pretty easy.

237 00:19:38.980 00:19:42.920 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, exactly like, that’s the thing again, like, my background is all from

238 00:19:43.270 00:19:47.130 Uttam Kumaran: those types of tools. And this is actually a lot easier. Actually.

239 00:19:47.130 00:19:48.239 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, exactly.

240 00:19:48.240 00:19:53.440 Uttam Kumaran: I think you’ll kind of come to that same realization. And then, yeah, this is just for this client, mainly, I think we’ll

241 00:19:53.640 00:19:55.609 Uttam Kumaran: look at the other.

242 00:19:55.610 00:20:07.960 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. And and I also said him that if we want to create like a more nicer report or dashboard, we can use evidence. And I think it will. It’s it’s okay. I mean.

243 00:20:08.050 00:20:20.770 Nicolas Sucari: we can start working on evidence and create some more complex stuff. Once we once we have like more complete understanding of the client. And yeah, we can deliver better stuff there, too.

244 00:20:21.130 00:20:22.480 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, okay.

245 00:20:24.200 00:20:31.819 Nicolas Sucari: But yeah, that was everything yesterday. So yeah, and I’m gonna catch up with Kim and check today. And again with Siraj.

246 00:20:31.850 00:20:35.679 Nicolas Sucari: I think we’re doing. We’re doing okay on pull parts. And and Stella, yes.

247 00:20:36.480 00:20:37.330 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool.

248 00:20:37.590 00:20:43.530 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. I think. On the sales side, we we’ve been meeting meet Monday, Tuesday. We’re going to meet again.

249 00:20:44.473 00:20:50.109 Uttam Kumaran: Basically, we’re mapping out the entire flow in big jam.

250 00:20:51.350 00:20:52.100 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

251 00:20:52.100 00:20:53.910 Uttam Kumaran: Everything, from like connecting.

252 00:20:53.930 00:21:02.270 Uttam Kumaran: like Crm systems together to different documents and things like that. So after today, we should have some good action items for everybody. So

253 00:21:03.240 00:21:04.000 Uttam Kumaran: there.

254 00:21:06.150 00:21:07.040 Uttam Kumaran: nice.

255 00:21:07.450 00:21:09.360 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. So again, hopefully.

256 00:21:09.500 00:21:12.180 Uttam Kumaran: you know, this is only another process until

257 00:21:12.480 00:21:15.940 Uttam Kumaran: like mid or end of next month, and then I can kind of

258 00:21:16.460 00:21:19.550 Uttam Kumaran: send Pat back to working directly with clients.

259 00:21:22.200 00:21:23.319 Uttam Kumaran: you know. So.

260 00:21:25.130 00:21:29.859 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, perfect. I mean, I don’t know if we like on on Ballparks and

261 00:21:29.940 00:21:32.660 Nicolas Sucari: Stella. If there is like anything we need no.

262 00:21:32.660 00:21:36.279 Uttam Kumaran: It’ll be for new clients. It’ll be for all, for yeah, all for new clients. Yeah.

263 00:21:36.960 00:21:42.520 Nicolas Sucari: Exactly perfect. Yeah, what we need to understand is, if we are going to

264 00:21:43.556 00:21:47.749 Nicolas Sucari: keep working on some kind of elementary stuff testing

265 00:21:47.860 00:21:54.180 Nicolas Sucari: and everything about that, because I think we need to review what we want there for each of the clients.

266 00:21:54.586 00:22:05.040 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I think we, I think we need to get like a standard procedure for all of them, and just like, get that working right. And I think, like that is our only

267 00:22:05.230 00:22:06.140 Nicolas Sucari: debt.

268 00:22:06.330 00:22:08.799 Nicolas Sucari: probably of the past month.

269 00:22:09.386 00:22:12.849 Nicolas Sucari: But yeah, I mean, it’s not super urgent, I think.

270 00:22:14.230 00:22:21.130 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I agree. I think it’s mainly like, you know, some of those tools. I think it was worth trying. But if we don’t have the technical folks to

271 00:22:21.250 00:22:22.029 Uttam Kumaran: handle it.

272 00:22:22.030 00:22:22.720 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

273 00:22:22.720 00:22:24.129 Uttam Kumaran: We? You know we can’t do it.

274 00:22:24.570 00:22:28.069 Uttam Kumaran: You know I’m still deciding, like Patrick, I think. Is

275 00:22:28.410 00:22:32.610 Uttam Kumaran: he kind of like? Is is not so interested in like doing direct

276 00:22:32.810 00:22:39.550 Uttam Kumaran: work. I feel like. But he was more interested in like working across clients. And so that’s why I’m gonna see? Like, basically.

277 00:22:39.700 00:22:42.450 Uttam Kumaran: what I’m finding out is like, if he

278 00:22:42.832 00:22:47.910 Uttam Kumaran: if we get a client that needs a dedicated data engineer, then I will probably assign them there.

279 00:22:48.750 00:22:49.070 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

280 00:22:49.070 00:22:53.819 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, we’ll see. Like, as soon as we get some more clients. I’ll kind of think about a new structure.

281 00:22:53.990 00:22:57.199 Uttam Kumaran: Basically, I mean again, like, I want everybody assigned

282 00:22:57.290 00:23:03.655 Uttam Kumaran: to revenue. Yeah, yeah. I mean, there’s some stuff on like our platform side. But

283 00:23:04.620 00:23:09.940 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know. It’s I kind of go back and forth with like having people dedicated to the company versus

284 00:23:10.110 00:23:11.630 Uttam Kumaran: like to

285 00:23:11.990 00:23:13.770 Uttam Kumaran: to clients. So we’ll see.

286 00:23:13.770 00:23:14.900 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I get it.

287 00:23:15.200 00:23:15.800 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah.

288 00:23:16.750 00:23:17.890 Nicolas Sucari: Understand?

289 00:23:18.150 00:23:23.440 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, and what what about hope hydration and the front end

290 00:23:23.820 00:23:25.500 Nicolas Sucari: stuff? That? Yeah, we.

291 00:23:25.500 00:23:30.656 Uttam Kumaran: They come, they they came. They came back to me. I had a meeting with them.

292 00:23:31.482 00:23:33.529 Uttam Kumaran: The initial proposal was

293 00:23:34.010 00:23:35.450 Uttam Kumaran: a little bit out of there

294 00:23:35.570 00:23:39.561 Uttam Kumaran: budget. So I’m sending them another proposal today.

295 00:23:40.230 00:23:42.400 Uttam Kumaran: kind of like a final one.

296 00:23:42.440 00:23:46.989 Uttam Kumaran: Basically like the there’s 1 guy in there that is, gonna be like the stakeholder, and

297 00:23:47.160 00:23:51.490 Uttam Kumaran: he wants to. He wants he wants us to start small and then kind of grow.

298 00:23:51.610 00:23:55.520 Uttam Kumaran: So I want to send them like an option that makes that happen, basically.

299 00:23:56.060 00:23:57.620 Uttam Kumaran: But like again.

300 00:23:57.940 00:24:00.919 Uttam Kumaran: if it’s not worth that much money, then it’s not worth

301 00:24:01.130 00:24:03.910 Uttam Kumaran: our time. So the nice thing about this one is.

302 00:24:05.030 00:24:06.440 Uttam Kumaran: we followed A,

303 00:24:06.700 00:24:09.089 Uttam Kumaran: we followed a process that was pretty good, like.

304 00:24:09.120 00:24:11.439 Uttam Kumaran: I basically had one meeting.

305 00:24:11.580 00:24:18.350 Uttam Kumaran: and then one meeting proposal, and then one meeting for negotiation. So we’re doing better, like, I’m not having 10 meetings about like.

306 00:24:18.810 00:24:20.799 Uttam Kumaran: Therefore there’s no money, so

307 00:24:21.190 00:24:26.020 Uttam Kumaran: it’s getting a bit better. And then, you know, we have our proposal. A lot of things just got better on this one.

308 00:24:28.100 00:24:31.080 Uttam Kumaran: so yeah, we’ll see. We’ll see if it. We’ll see if it happens?

309 00:24:31.820 00:24:33.670 Uttam Kumaran: not not entirely sure yet.

310 00:24:34.730 00:24:36.400 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, perfect.

311 00:24:39.130 00:24:42.579 Nicolas Sucari: yeah. I don’t know if we have a lot of more stuff.

312 00:24:43.480 00:24:49.059 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think that’s it. I mean, I think, I have Jp working on website stuff. And then Miguel will be back on Monday

313 00:24:49.100 00:24:51.150 Uttam Kumaran: to work on automation stuff. So

314 00:24:51.350 00:24:55.074 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, I think this room should be pretty shallow. Let’s just make sure on

315 00:24:55.660 00:24:58.920 Uttam Kumaran: on the emails on Friday for pool parts. Just the

316 00:24:59.240 00:25:00.928 Uttam Kumaran: we can kind of share that.

317 00:25:01.820 00:25:04.519 Uttam Kumaran: you know, kind of some of the things that we’re working towards for
