What is your favorite type of project?
My favorite type of project is one that makes people’s work easier and gets folks the data or functionality they need. The landscape of Higher Education is constantly changing and our systems need to be flexible enough to support the broad range of work we are asked to do. A successful project to me is one where the team feels like Slate is empowering them and not adding something burdensome or intimidating to their task list.

What is your favorite way to engage with the Slate community?
Summit is always fun because I can be an unabashed Slate nerd for several days. Year-round, I enjoy hanging out on Slack and joining the peanut gallery (i.e. the Chat area) in Community Conversations.
What’s your favorite type of Slate project?
Anything that exists in the intersection between evergreen Slate functionality (something you don’t have to update every year) and making someone’s job easier (simplifying or accelerating a complicated process). That’s often some kind of a portal, but it can also be a suite of administrative alerts or dashboards, an internal-use dataset, or a custom integration.
