#getable

Well, my unemployment officially ends this week, and I'm moving onto the next chapter of my life. I'll be joining Getable as product designer and I couldn't be any more super, ridiculously stoked.

A little over a year ago, I started my journey designing digital products when I left school and began working on my own startups. Since then, there have been a lot of ups and downs. But despite all of that, those experiences were extremely valuable and I wouldn't trade them for the world.

When our startup didn't work out, my partner and I decided to spend a few months in Asia. And what do you do when you're on a long vacation in an exotic location? Soul-search, of course. I knew that whatever I did next, I wanted to have a big impact and help people.

At Getable, we have been given the opportunity to do that. We are taking strides to greatly improve the experiences and workflows of the construction industry. I truly believe that as creators of software, we have a responsibility to improve these industries that have long been neglected and underserved. In other words: industries like construction, health, education, agriculture, etc. have been stuck with shitty software for a long time, and it's because all the people with the skill and ability are stuck solving shitty problems or problems that don't exist.

I feel extremely lucky to be joining a team that is so passionate about solving a problem worth solving. After spending some time with the team, I know that we are all committed to empowering people and making their lives easier.

It's been a while since I've written a post, I guess I've neglected it a bit. One updated I wanted to add was that since last time I've taken a new role in my life at a great startup here in San Francisco called Getable as Director of Engineering.

We are a small, early stage startup building a platform to allow users to have a better overall experience while renting products effectively spending less and doing more. Part of my job will be responsible for implementing process and culture, assisting to build teams as we scale, ensuring high quality of code among many other things.
