Software Engineer
Working in my engineering and sales internships and co-ops, I saw
firsthand how much mindless repetitive tasks were part of everyday
routines. Naturally, these processes are very important but I was
inspired to use my technical background to automate as much as I
could.
I started with specialized scripts coded for specific tasks like
standard work documentation or data processing. As I saw more demand
from coworkers and friends, I began to consider how to make this
kind of automation available everywhere.
Since my main goal was to democratize software automation, I knew a
graphical user interface was nonnegotiable. A significant barrier to
entry to others using my approach of specialized scripts is the
knowledge and experience with coding that I possessed.
I worked on the logic and distribution mechanisms for months,
resulting in a powerful full-stack application that can work on any
Windows computer and can even record workflow actions for later
execution.
I also worked on the business side, creating the business entity,
establishing our financial systems, creating the legal documents,
and determining the short term and long term strategies.
I created the business website, integrated payment processing, and
designed the education and customer service backend systems.
Finally, I directed to formation of our marketing campaigns
including our defining introductory video above.
