Kristin Smith

I'm passionate about communication on technical teams -- and about pulling information from the technical components we seek to master. A former historian and archivist, I've pivoted from one way of organizing information to a new paradigm of tools, frameworks, and approaches to collecting, storing, and displaying data to help humans understand their current situation. --------------------------------------- I focus on these areas: * Incidents happen - how can we more quickly detect, absorb, and pivot towards action when our brains are tired? Usually by pulling on the past, and in the best cases, by staying open to new possibilities that weren't available to us before. * Whoa buddy, that AWS bill isn't gonna keep working for me. Let's figure that out. * Can I help you do one less thing? Focus on tools, processes, and feedback cycles that build trust and team capacity --------------------------------------- I am happily employed, and am open to volunteer opportunities, particularly around gender diversity and sobriety in tech!
