Alex Balazs, Chief Architect at Intuit

When many think of the workplace diversity debate, many can potentially be caught feeling a dynamic of 'White men vs everyone else'. Denise sat down with Intuit Chief Architect, Alex Balazs, to discuss why that is not the case, and how white men can play a vital role in advancing diverse and equitable workplaces, and how white men (or any workplace majority group) can go about that.  SEE THE LEAD INLCUSIVELY BLOG SIGN UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER

Being the 'White Guy' Advocating for Diversity - Alex Balazs

Alex Balazs is the Intuit Chief Architect and has been working at the company for almost twenty years. Intuit’s products include QuickBooks, TurboTax, and Mint. These applications are used to file taxes, manage business invoices, conduct personal accounting, and other critical aspects of a user’s financial life. Because the applications are managing money for users, there is not much room for error. When Intuit was started, the company made desktop software. In his time at Intuit, Alex played a key role in rearchitecting the monolithic desktop applications to be resilient, reliable web applications. Intuit originally managed this software on their own servers. Since then, Intuit has migrated to the cloud using AWS. Alex joins the show to discuss his experience scaling Intuit, his strategy for cloud migration, and his evaluation criteria for questions of build versus buy. RECENT UPDATES: The FindCollabs Open has started. It is our second FindCollabs hackathon, and we are giving away $2500 in prizes. The prizes will be awarded in categories such as machine learning, business plan, music, visual art, and JavaScript. If one of those areas sounds interesting to you, check out findcollabs.com/open! The FindCollabs Podcast is out! We are booking sponsorships for Q3, find more details at https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/sponsor/ The post Scaling Intuit with Alex Balazs appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
