Reed Iandolo Headshot
👋

Hello, I'm Reed Iandolo! I am the Director of Technology for a Consultancy. Currently, I am really interested in Engineering, CRMs, AI/LLMs, Python and Next.js. I enjoy helping people and businesses solve problems with tech.

About me

After graduating with a degree in Geology (Math minor), I had a plan to go into Oil and Gas. The economy unfortunately did not agree with this plan. I started out my career in the construction industry doing on-site material testing. After a bit of time doing this, I transitioned to project management and estimation within the construction industry. While in this role, I began teaching myself Python, looking into AWS and learning about Salesforce as I was exploring a career path in the tech industry. I realized I really liked what I was learning and decided to pursue this full time.

After going through various Python courses and picking up some AWS and Salesforce Certifications, I was able to land my first role as a technologist for OBO, which is a technical consulting company focused in the Sales and Marketing space (HubSpot, Salesforce). I started out in this role doing basic Salesforce and HubSpot implementations. Over a short period of time, I was able to show my ability to quickly learn new things and was able to get new responsibilities. I began building integrations between SaaS applications like HubSpot and Salesforce and other SaaS apps, Databases, Data Warehouses using Python and Node. As I continued to deliver successful projects and consistently happy clients, my responsibilities grew into system design and architecture and leading the company's largest projects. Ultimately, through a few promotions, this lead me to my current role as Director of Technology for the company. I am strategizing on our largest and most complex projects, helping mentor junior team members, develop new lines of business and discover new tools and methodlogies to improve our delivery.

I am a constant learner and am always working and tinkering on different projects. Right now I am really interested in AI and LLMss and have been experimenting building small apps. I have also been enjoying learning some front-end and picking up Next (hence this website).
