Using a simple story to explain M&E Story: SuperHero For Project Once upon a time, in a magical land called Evaluation Kingdom, there lived a special person named Mr. Monitor and Ms. Evaluate, also known as M and E for short. They were like detectives, but instead of solving mysteries, they helped people understand if their projects were working well. One sunny day, a curious 9-year-old named Tunde asked them, "What do you do as M and E officers?" Mr. Monitor smiled and said, "Well, Tunde, our job is like being a superhero for projects. When someone creates something cool, like a new school program or a health campaign, they want to know if it's helping people. That's where we come in!" Ms. Evaluate added, "We have special tools to collect information, like asking questions, looking at numbers, and talking to people. It's like putting together puzzle pieces to see the big picture." Tunde's eyes sparkled with interest. "So, you help make sure things are going well and fix them if they're not?" "Exactly!" Mr. Monitor nodded. "If something isn't working as planned, we figure out why and help make it better. It's like being a problem solver and a helper at the same time." Ms. Evaluate chimed in, "And we also celebrate when things are going great! We cheer for everyone who's doing a fantastic job." Tunde clapped his hands. "Wow, you're like magical helpers for projects! I want to be an M and E officer when I grow up." Both Mr. Monitor and Ms. Evaluate smiled warmly. "That's wonderful, Tunde! Remember, being an M and E officer means caring about making things better for everyone. You'd make a fantastic one someday!" And from that day on, Tunde dreamed of becoming a superhero M and E officer, making the world a better place, one project at a time. #M&E #NGO #PublicHealth #LinkedIn #Jobs #Remote #Hybrid

BUSINESS UPDATE! Click “…see more” to hear an update on our adventure! I haven’t been shy when talking to and meeting new people that I’m in what I’m calling our third sales cycle. We are learning from our experiences and time in our particular market space! I’m fortunate to have received wise counsel from James L, Andy G, Mike F, Sam S, and Kevin K in the last few months – on how to focus our offering, improve our marketing, and grow. We are pursuing larger clients and putting out feelers for a second full-time employee (embedded software engineer). Every day, I’m meeting new people, like my trip today to Dayton to meet Andy C, then Daniel Schmidt of McGregor Surmount Corporation, and then back to Cinci to grab lunch with my old co-worker Tim. On my way back, I got to drive through the country, passing a small car lot with 30 VW bugs, and listened to this eclectic song from JUDAH called “Irresponsible.” “And I just wanna say that I'm grateful. For all of the ways You never left me behind. Oh, how irresponsible, Your love. And I just wanna praise Your name for all of the ways You keep chasin' my heart. Oh, how irresponsible, Your love.” We are on a growth path – this is my invitation; if you are interested in working with us, as a client or employee, reach out! #businessdevelopment #engineering #newproductdevelopment #networking  

I realized I'd hit capacity as a solo software engineer at the beginning of last year. Ever since, I have been focused on how to grow my business and the impact I'd like to make with it. I'll have more to share on that soon. But came here to share that I wouldn't be as excited about what I've come up with—nor anywhere near as far along the process—without the 10-week course I took in the fall with IndeCollective and mentors including Sam Lee, Jan Almasy, and Joshua Neckes 🙏🏼 In those 10 weeks and after I've: - Been working on the tenets of IC: productization, pricing, and brand differentiation, and how to speak about what I do, and why I care about sustainability and responsibility in tech. - Got connected with bar-raising coaching and operational support from fellow Inde Kelsey Conroy - Scaled up an existing contract to full Product Development scope, onboarding my own engineers, getting systems and workflows in place, and getting the feel for what a well-run team can deliver But what I'm almost most excited about—and surprised by being excited about—is how full my schedule continues to be with 1 on 1s and referral meetings, opportunities and catch ups. I must of 5x'd my network at least. If you're like me, it's real easy to stick to yourself as an (introverted) independent. Don't underplay networking & community building. It's been transformative for me to get to support and be supported by a whole network of interdisciplinary peers. (Hope to keep seeing you all in my schedule as the year goers on 🙂) There's a free event tomorrow previewing some of IndeCollective's playbooks and resources (link in the comments). Good chance to get a feeling for what the program offers—I hope it helps somebody! Also sharing my scheduling link in the comments. If you're building a digital product that's targeting social or environmental problems, I want to chat with you!

My personal favorite and highest direct productivity environment as a Software Engineer was 15 years ago. It was magic. I had a quiet office that I shared with one other engineer. I had a giant desktop computer, and a big personal desk of my own. Big window facing a quiet parking lot with trees. I was the technical support department every Wednesday, directly answering the phone for customer inquiries. Many times I had the joy of capturing a customer issue, fixing it, and creating a new release on the same day. Other times I had to talk to a regular contact -- a friend really -- that was having a hard day because of my work. Every issue that wasn't solved by the person on rotation went to the individual subsystem owner. We tried to keep counts low, we were personally on the hook for following up on open issues. No management pressure required, open issues directly impacted your day with follow up calls. At my peak productivity, we planned major releases by writing down general specs on physical notecards. Estimates: 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months. The biggest stuff took more than 2 months, it was ok. If it didn't fit on the notecard, I had to figure it out. If I thought something was a good idea and I did it, I was also automatically the subsystem owner that had to handle the fallout. A few times I was assigned a subsystem and also the autonomy to manage my time to make that new ownership palatable. I feel like the key here is *taking* both the personal ownership and the personal autonomy. And for those welcoming a contributor, letting go of it.
