First Name: Joseph

Nick Name: Joe, #JOLO
Title: Dev Manager (originally Software Engineer)
Life Before Spokeo: Various startups
Most Interesting Spokeo Project: Introducing Scrum to a cross-functional team and serving as Scrum Master for it. It’s interesting because while the Scrum events are forced (backlog refinement, sprint planning, etc.), everything during the sprint execution feels more natural (pair programming, product owner/stakeholder feedback, volunteering for tasks vs being assigned tasks, to name a few). Scrum isn’t for everybody, but it’s awesome seeing it work for us, and interesting to learn about in general.
Favorite Spokeo Event: My first Spokeo party was in the office when the company was smaller. It was wild.
Words of Advice: Watch Rich Hickey’s presentation, “Simple Made Easy” (https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy). It’s changed my approach to programming and kept me mindful of whether or not my solutions are actually making things more complex.
