As Technical Enablement Architects (TEAs) at Redis, we are responsible for onboarding R&D Engineers, Solutions Architects, and other technical hires. The onboarding plan covers Redis and Redis Enterprise architecture, as well as one-on-one lectures on topics such as distributed systems, consistency, scalability, high availability, microservices architecture, database design, data modelling, big data, probabilistic data structures and more. Additionally, we create a lot of technical training. Personally, I'm responsible for Redis OSS and all supported modules, which requires close collaboration with Product Managers and R&D Engineers to produce content relevant to various technical personas within the company. This content covers a wide range of domains, including graph databases, time-series databases, full-text and vector similarity search engines, CDC, probabilistic data structures, and Kubernetes. We organise and hold company-wide Show-and-tells and record podcasts with our PMs and engineers, talking about new releases. The TEAs on our team serve as experts and trusted advisors to whom our SAs can come for advice when they need help with a (technical) customer problem.
An EU Funded non-profit, on its way to becoming European Union's open platform for cultural data. I was responsible for creating and maintaining an open API for cultural data scraped from multiple sources and integrating with other platforms. You can see how we built it our API in this talk I gave at Ubucon Europe:
The UmaHub project was an online, part-time, programming school for women. In addition to all the necessary technical skills for junior developers, a big focus was put on learning about communication when working remotely, creating and nurturing psychological safety, giving and receiving feedback, doing evaluations, building your online brand as a developer and choosing the right team to join. The project started out of my love for mentoring and inspiring more women to join the tech industry. Among other things, I worked with WomenInTech® to create and deliver one of our courses as a free coding bootcamp for 50 women worldwide. The mentors were all volunteers, and I’m still proud of the amazingly diverse group of people we inspired to join and spend their free time helping women learn to code. I wrote about it in the "The silent heroes of our community" blog post below.
