Welcome back, listeners. Today we are dropping another episode in our series titled The Notifications North Star, sponsored by our good friends Courier.

Courier is developer infrastructure for product notifications, making it easier to deliver the notification experience that your customers expect.

In our series, we'll be talking to customers, developers, and stakeholders within the

notification space to learn about their notification strategy how important it is and how Currier

is helping to solve this problem for product builders and developers alike. Today, I have

Vatasha White with me. She's a senior software engineer at Currier. She was previously at Lacework,

launched Darkly, and GE Digital has quite the resume and is a graduate of Smith College in 2015.

Vitasha, thank you for being on the show today. No problem at all. Excited to be here.

Before we jump into what you're doing at Currier now, tell me a little bit more about you.

Born and raised in New York, prior to career, I was at Lacework as a principal developer advocate.

And I was interested in doing dev advocacy at the time because I really think about a developer advocate as like the intersection between like engineering, education and product.

So that's really what enticed me about that role. And then prior to that, I was at launch darkly and I worked on the future workflows

team. And really what a future workflow is is like how you change a life cycle of a future flag.

You can change a life cycle of a future flag through various mechanisms like through an approval,

through an expiring user target, or through a

schedule flag change. And I worked on that team. I worked on experimentation walls at once,

starkly. I worked on migrating some of our data from a no-SQL database to a distributed

SQL database. And then aside from all the work stuff, when I'm not working, you can find me

playing DDR at the arcade or magic.

If you've migrated some NoSQL database anywhere, you've been in the trenches for sure.

I know that feeling. Well, you've obviously worked for some amazing companies, and you're working for an amazing company now.

So tell me a little bit about your time at Courier. How did you get introduced to Courier?
