As a technology consultancy with flexible work practices, we’re well versed in this way of working. So, we wanted to share some tips and tricks for how we work remotely with our clients. We spoke with Bryan Signey and Danilo Lo Santo, two of our Sydney based Software Engineers, about their experience working on a remote client project.
In the early part of my programming career, I spent a lot of time working with C and C++. From batch load scheduling systems running on different Unix flavours to hyper-spectral image processing software used by geologists running on Windows NT.
In September last year, I began working remotely with DiUS from Perth. I had previously worked from home on the occasion, but working remotely day in day out is a different story.
Think of the last time you were involved in kicking off a new project. How was the experience of getting everyone aligned around the vision and started on the actual work? Was it smooth and quick, or did you encounter some bumps along the way?
For the last few years I’ve been working remotely from Tokyo, with only short trips back to Melbourne to visit clients and catch up with colleagues. Working remotely has its fair share of challenges (and benefits), and being a technical lead for a team while remote can add a few more to both lists.
At DiUS, we have a strong focus on exposing our people to new and emerging technologies. We do this because of our insatiable desire to explore the new and tinker with what might be.
Celebrating International Women’s Day this year was bittersweet. It’s wonderful to be part of an event that’s so widely adopted. It’s an occasion to talk up all the wonderful women we know and work with—and goodness me there are many—to raise awareness of how far we still have to go in workforce gender equality, and talk about how to get there. But it’s also a reminder that it’s 2020 and we still live in a world without equality, not just in gender.
Our very own Sadia Mir – Principal XD Consultant and Digital Strategist – took the stage last month, alongside Australia’s top women in tech to explore both sides of the ethics coin.
Recently I was asked to take part in a Developer Day talk on Serverless Application Model and modern application development. Given we only had a short amount of time to touch on this topic, I wanted to do a deeper dive on how you could use this tooling, specifically around building Custom Resources for CloudFormation.
At DiUS, we’re passionate about developing technology solutions that are profitable, innovative and improve the communities in which we live and work; solutions that create shared value.
