    From River Hawks to Robots

    Eva Moscat caps off Season 10 of Underserved. Eva grew up in a math-intensive family, and a college course requirement introduced her to programming. She found her niche in network development, and as interconnected devices became the norm, her career prospects bloomed. We discuss the importance of mentors/networking, embedded debugging for vendor culpability, and robots obviating the landscaper.   Links UMass Lowell https://www.uml.edu/ Samsara https://www.samsara.com/ Eva on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/emoscat/

    From 600 Meatballs to Product Management

    Episode #121 of Underserved features Dmitry Grenader. Dmitry left the Soviet Union with his family and landed in Brooklyn. He worked his way up from odd jobs to a master's degree and became a software developer. A mentor saw promise in Dmitry's product management skills and encouraged him to lean in that direction. This has led Dmitry to a decades-long successful career in the Boston software industry. We discuss CES fame, writing a song to lobby for resources, and selling software to low-tech industries.   Links: Boston University Late Entry Accelerated Program (LEAP) - https://www.bu.edu/eng/admissions/graduate/leap/ Lionbridge - https://www.lionbridge.com/ Sermo - https://www.sermo.com/ Vlingo, now part of Nuance - https://www.nuance.com/index.html NetProspex, now part of Dun & Bradstreet - https://www.dnb.com/ Luminoso - https://luminoso.com/ Newmetrix, now part of Oracle - https://www.oracle.com/construction-engineering/construction-intelligence-cloud/#rc30p4 Marc Andressen "The only thing that matters" - https://pmarchive.com/guide_to_startups_part4.html Rob Snyder coaches startup on product-market fit - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rsnyder1/ Amwell - https://business.amwell.com/

    Why Can't I Learn To Do That Myself?

    Episode 120 of Underserved is here! Our guest today is Christine Bird, a fellow UMass alum and veteran of the financial services industry. Christine started her career teaching some of the toughest students and learned to love it. Her foray into technology and QA taught her bug diplomacy, the SDLC, and how to make the skills vs. attitude decision. We discuss front-loading your tech learning, the AHA moment as a QA manager, and her love of being a city dweller.   LINKS Glad.org Sdlc-caat.com Jobcorps.gov https://www.linkedin.com/in/birdchristine/

    Digital Leaders, Place Your Bets

    In Episode 119 of Underserved, I interview Dustin Humphreys. From the level land in the Texas panhandle comes this pharmacist-turned-technologist. Dustin wore many hats to help bring drug stores online during the DotCom boom. He has since helped multiple drugstore chains advance their online presence and has branched out into other industries as well. We talk about feature obsession being overrated (now ADOPTION obsession - that is cool!) and the pachinko game of being a small company CEO.   LINKS Dustin on LinkedIn Rite Aid Bending the Adoption Curve Dustin has some patents!

    AI Is Like Salt

    In Underserved #118 we interview Andrew Heffernan. Andrew grew up believing he wanted to be an engineer. After dabbling in civil and plastics, he found his way into the tech industry via customer support at Constant Contact. The company thrived and provided Andrew advancement into development, where he discovered that the hardest part of the job could be getting all the humans to work in concert. We discuss working with fellow Underserved guest Erik Dasque, what happens when you 10x your staff, and the double-edged sword of SalesForce.   Links: Andrew on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-w-heffernan/ https://www.litify.com/  https://www.litify.com/careers

    Fight for Simplicity

    Dom Scandinaro is our guest for Episode #115 of Underserved. Dom enjoyed building computers with his Dad and taking an entrepreneurial angle with their shared venture. As a young track star, a scholarship offer made his college choice for him. Luckily the CS program at Wheeling was fun and UI-focused, which has led to a career in front-end development, mobile development, and now management as a CTO. We discuss who makes a cameo on Cameo, Luxury Garage Sale, and prototyping with Francisco the Fox.   Links: Black Girls Code: https://www.wearebgc.org/ Cameo for Business: https://biz.cameo.com/ Cameo Kids: https://www.cameo.com/kids Francisco the Fox: https://www.cameo.com/franciscothefox Book Dom on Cameo: https://www.cameo.com/domscand Marathon donation page: I'm running to raise money for prostate cancer which is unfortunately what my father passed away from a couple years back.  https://support.zerocancer.org/site/TR/TeamZERO/TeamZERO?px=1916970&pg=personal&fr_id=3320
