Custom Build & Delivery Working systems, built and handed over.
The pilot worked, and now the thing has to run every weekday, owned by
people who did not build it. That is a different job, and it is the
one here.
The building goes back to 1996: transactional websites at IBM Canada,
retailer integration at Skulogix, marketing analytics and early machine
learning under the first Blue Camel Consulting in 2012. The tools change.
The job is the same one it has always been.
A tool that only its author can run is a liability with a nice interface.
Everything here is built to be handed over: maintained by your own people,
documented in plain language, and small enough to reason about. The
engagement ends when the thing runs without us.
