That Tech Show

This week we’re talking with James Fair. A man with 35 years of experience under his belt, working his way up from IT support to Senior Vice President at Executech but what’s probably most interesting is his work in Utah based Feature Films for Families, a mormon production company based in Salt Lake City and his voice-over work.

On todays episode we have Vishal Marria who’s the big cheese and founder over at Quantexa which is a platform that brings together all of your data and provides an intelligence layer over the top which, at the time was on version one but they’ve since launched Quantexa 2!

Vishal shares his time at Dedica, EY, SAS and BAE his 1st class degree on computer science at Royal Holloway University of London, how he approaches problems from a business perspective having to start a business from scratch after working for his father at a Cash ‘n Carry where he learned the foundations of running a business. In amongst that, somehow squeezing in some coding. He also tells us about how he risked it all to start the company and after the first year being in six-figure debt. We even dip into productivity tips and mental health coping mechanisms for stress.

We cover a wide breadth of experiences and practical applications of starting a successful company so If you’re a budding entrepreneur, this is the one for you

Today on the show we have Taimur Rashid, Chief Business Development Officer of Redis and if you don’t know who Redis are well... shame on you! Only joking, they’re an open-source datastore used by pretty much anyone you can shake a stick at.

In this episode Taimur gives us a whistle stop tour of coming from a computer science degree to AWS, Microsoft and eventually a C-suite member at Redis. We take a trip down memory lane as he saw the very beginnings of AWS and being in meetings with Jeff Bezos and Andy Jassy through to his role at Microsoft and their desire to reshape their culture.

Boy do we have a magician for you today as on today’s episode we have the one and only Uncle Bob Martin. Bob is a legend in the computing world best known for his role in establishing Test Driven Development, the SOLID principles, being one of the signatory’s of the Agile Manifesto and of course Clean Code. Bob has had his fair share of controversy over the years and we get into all that but what was important to us was his impact on the technology industry, and ultimately, the world.

Today we have Peter O Driscoll who has joined us from RingGo, the car parking app you might have used in and around London, or various cities across the country.

This was a fantastic episode to end on as we get into the nuances of Ringo’s journey as they pivoted from train-station parking into city parking and their plans to provide digital parking across Europe, we also get down to the nitty gritty of why parking is so inconsistent as well as the different jurisdictions Ringo have to negotiate with
