I once had an engineer tell me that they essentially didn’t want to consider cost as they were building a solution. I was baffled. Don’t get me wrong, yes, when you’re building, you iterate and aim to improve your solutions cost.

But from my perspective, I don’t think completely ignoring costs from day one is a good plan.

Cost plays a role in all forms of projects, whether you’re building bridges or writing code. How much budget is allocated to build and maintain a solution is important. In the real world, it can change the materials used, the timeline, or the final product’s design.

In the tech world it also plays a similar role, and it can help you build more optimal systems.

Thanks all for watching.

About me:
I have spent my career focused on all forms of data. I have focused on developing algorithms to detect fraud, reduce patient readmission and redesign insurance provider policy to help reduce the overall cost of healthcare. I have also helped develop analytics for marketing and IT operations in order to optimize limited resources such as employees and budget. I privately consult on data science and engineering problems both solo as well as with a company called Acheron Analytics. I have experience both working hands-on with technical problems as well as helping leadership teams develop strategies to maximize their data.
