9 00:01:16.770 ⇒ 00:01:25.829 Brylle Girang: Perfect, okay. Yeah, let’s start with, like, set… lining up our 2-3 goals for this week. I don’t know if…
10 00:01:26.370 ⇒ 00:01:29.780 Brylle Girang: Our main priorities will also be our main goals.
11 00:01:32.030 ⇒ 00:01:39.280 Brylle Girang: So we have 3 priorities right now. I did the stitching, Cortex AI, and then the star schema, right?
12 00:01:39.830 ⇒ 00:01:43.219 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, these three are the main goals for this week.
13 00:01:45.930 ⇒ 00:01:52.240 Brylle Girang: Gotcha. Like, is that enough, Otam? What do you think? Are those priorities also should be our main goals?
14 00:01:53.760 ⇒ 00:02:00.769 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, those are the… I would say those are the goals still. I think we had a good meeting last week, so I feel pretty good. I think…
15 00:02:00.960 ⇒ 00:02:06.080 Uttam Kumaran: I think probably, Bryl, the biggest thing for me is I want to start to work on roadmap for the next…
16 00:02:06.310 ⇒ 00:02:09.869 Uttam Kumaran: 2 months, so… Yeah, I mean…
17 00:02:09.990 ⇒ 00:02:14.080 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t… I actually think that is the… those are the goals right now, so…
18 00:02:14.480 ⇒ 00:02:25.090 Uttam Kumaran: On one side, like, that’s really good. You know, I feel like for this client, at least, like, it’s not that crazy. We’re pretty… we’re fairly organized. But, like, I want to start to get ahead on, like, feature roadmap.
19 00:02:31.320 ⇒ 00:02:32.630 Brylle Girang: Okay, gotcha.
20 00:02:32.770 ⇒ 00:02:39.749 Brylle Girang: Let me share my screen, because, we already have the Instagram chart, and then there are lots of milestones here that are not yet mapped.
21 00:02:41.090 ⇒ 00:02:54.340 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so we had a lot of… so, I mean, we kind of, like, we were gonna do a bunch of things, and we kind of right now just focused on CES, so we need to get through these, like, these three things in order to start working on more stuff in the future, so…
22 00:02:55.920 ⇒ 00:03:02.479 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. But let’s, like, let’s… let’s go ahead and talk, I mean, because, for example, like, we have… there’s a huge ingestion roadmap.
23 00:03:03.010 ⇒ 00:03:11.309 Uttam Kumaran: There is, like… more analytics and BI work that we haven’t done yet.
24 00:03:11.690 ⇒ 00:03:15.390 Uttam Kumaran: There’s more modeling for some of those sources when they come in, so…
25 00:03:15.710 ⇒ 00:03:23.069 Uttam Kumaran: I think what could be helpful B, this month is for us to kind of get that roadmap going, so we can present to Catherine.
26 00:03:24.560 ⇒ 00:03:28.329 Brylle Girang: Gotcha, okay. And this is, like, still within the current contract, right?
27 00:03:30.190 ⇒ 00:03:36.820 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so our contract ends end of this month, so that’s why I can start to work with her on what’s coming up next.
28 00:03:41.190 ⇒ 00:03:43.499 Brylle Girang: Okay, gotcha, that makes sense.
29 00:03:43.920 ⇒ 00:03:48.360 Brylle Girang: Yeah, well…
30 00:03:48.800 ⇒ 00:04:06.810 Brylle Girang: I think I’m going to give Cursor a go, and then scan our contracts, and then our previous SOWs, try to find if we have delivered everything that we can, and if not, create timelines based on those. I would do that offline. So, anything else that we need to tackle today?
31 00:04:07.070 ⇒ 00:04:08.860 Brylle Girang: Aish, yeah, thank you.
32 00:04:08.860 ⇒ 00:04:14.550 Uttam Kumaran: I think maybe just for your consideration, like, I want to try to plan that contract as, like, a one-year contract.
33 00:04:14.920 ⇒ 00:04:16.130 Uttam Kumaran: So… Okay.
34 00:04:16.660 ⇒ 00:04:20.600 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s see… yeah, I mean, there’s plenty of stuff, so I… yeah, I think…
35 00:04:20.720 ⇒ 00:04:23.170 Uttam Kumaran: I think being able to show, like.
36 00:04:23.750 ⇒ 00:04:28.910 Uttam Kumaran: Similar to what we show for Element, but not the week-by-week view, but, like, showing on a Gantt.
37 00:04:29.140 ⇒ 00:04:45.580 Uttam Kumaran: like, the outcomes, I think would be really helpful. And then I can go ahead and grab time with Catherine as well, to just talk to her. I think the other piece on this is, like, I wanna… I wanna bring in another person as soon as we can onto this client to free up a wish a bit.
38 00:04:46.180 ⇒ 00:04:50.829 Uttam Kumaran: So that’s also, like, a ways, I think, for you to consider.
39 00:04:51.030 ⇒ 00:04:53.709 Uttam Kumaran: Based on who ends up joining the team.
40 00:04:55.410 ⇒ 00:04:56.020 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
41 00:05:00.340 ⇒ 00:05:14.669 Brylle Girang: Okay, gotcha. Okay, that’s clear on my end. Yeah, in the meantime, for the three goals that we’re prioritizing, any hope that you need? Otam, I know that you’re busy with other stuff, are you still able to, like, focus on Cortex?
42 00:05:15.200 ⇒ 00:05:18.229 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I got a bunch done last week, so…
43 00:05:18.400 ⇒ 00:05:22.059 Uttam Kumaran: Shouldn’t be too bad for me to get the rest today. Today and tomorrow.
44 00:05:22.750 ⇒ 00:05:23.910 Brylle Girang: Okay, perfect.
45 00:05:24.060 ⇒ 00:05:26.680 Brylle Girang: Ashwini, how about for identity stitching?
46 00:05:27.690 ⇒ 00:05:33.730 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, I’m on that, from tomorrow onwards. Today, I’m done with the ingestion of, those files to
47 00:05:33.900 ⇒ 00:05:39.259 Ashwini Sharma: Snowflake, as well as transforming them into the staging layer so that they’re ready for INT resolution.
48 00:05:39.520 ⇒ 00:05:45.489 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, that’s the next thing on my plate. I am planning to get it done by this weekend.
49 00:05:46.410 ⇒ 00:05:47.240 Brylle Girang: Okay.
50 00:05:47.240 ⇒ 00:05:49.520 Ashwini Sharma: Including the dimensional modeling.
51 00:05:51.410 ⇒ 00:05:51.980 Brylle Girang: Okay.
52 00:05:52.940 ⇒ 00:05:56.339 Brylle Girang: Awash, a 4-star schema, you’re also good?
53 00:05:57.050 ⇒ 00:06:02.420 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, yeah, so the plan is, for this week, is to finalize CES. We…
54 00:06:02.950 ⇒ 00:06:12.970 Awaish Kumar: already have the models there. They did a QA and had some feedback on Friday that we will just incorporate, and we should be done with that.
55 00:06:13.160 ⇒ 00:06:22.229 Awaish Kumar: With the cease modeling. Second thing, second piece was… was Ashwini said, like, we, like, for identity stitching, now there’s a little bit of…
56 00:06:22.420 ⇒ 00:06:25.799 Awaish Kumar: Shift on… what we’ve started?
57 00:06:26.130 ⇒ 00:06:38.320 Awaish Kumar: like, we wanted to go with all the CES things, but now they want us to just focus on export data first, and do the identity screen for that. So we have a plan, and Ashwani will be executing that.
58 00:06:38.440 ⇒ 00:06:41.900 Awaish Kumar: This week, along with all the modeling required for Expuket.
59 00:06:43.740 ⇒ 00:06:48.730 Awaish Kumar: These are two main goals for the modeling side. If we can finish it by… before the…
60 00:06:48.980 ⇒ 00:06:51.210 Awaish Kumar: Before our meeting with CTA on Friday.
61 00:06:51.320 ⇒ 00:06:54.760 Awaish Kumar: And that would be a good enough deliverable.
62 00:06:56.870 ⇒ 00:07:05.970 Brylle Girang: Okay, cool. Yeah, I’m good on my end. I’m just going to prepare the roadmap, and then I’m going to grab time again for us to meet, maybe within this week.
63 00:07:06.100 ⇒ 00:07:07.560 Brylle Girang: To review and finalize.
64 00:07:08.720 ⇒ 00:07:09.570 Uttam Kumaran: Perfect.
65 00:07:10.240 ⇒ 00:07:11.740 Brylle Girang: Thank you, everyone. Bye-bye.
66 00:07:11.920 ⇒ 00:07:13.440 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, thank you. Bye.
