Self-Intro

Thought it was a good idea to do this too!
So, kia ora everyone, I’m Hannah

I’m an Outcomes Engineer (I ditched the BA title) who’s been contracting for ~7 years. Typically on bigger programmes of work. Usually with an agile delivery flavour. Usually with a CX or design focus. And almost always with tech. I especially like working with designers and architects … hence the career path!

My current contract is with Auckland Council working on a gnarly project to migrate two enterprise platforms onto modern alternatives. It’s big and it’s fun!

I live in Wellington with my partner, two cats, and an unnecessary number of laptops for two humans.

Why am I here?
I got involved in this because I believe in the power of community. And I have some really epic chats in my LinkedIn DMs that I often wish I could share. Chats about frameworks, approaches, concepts, humans, systems. The idea that there could be a place where those chats could happen, we could kick around new (and old) ideas, and solve problems together, is very cool. That’s something I want to be a part of.

That is why I’m here.

Actually a more complete (perhaps overly long) rationale for why I’m here is outlined in this article I wrote (the bit about community is at the end).

When I’m not working, I also write articles on stuff that I find interesting (published here: jimmy.consulting), have a newsletter, and generally spend far too much time thinking how to get good stuff done and then nattering about it to anyone who will listen.

My favourite fun fact about myself is that I only found out I had curly hair in my twenties. Go figure!
