I'd like to share more about my actual job at -ElenQ Technology soon, but that's not probably going to happen in this post. - -Let me tell you what's not my job instead: Looking for profitability is not my -job, or it shouldn't be at least. Agree? - -It's being a lot of fun to see me struggle with that part of the business, -where my tech expertise or my engineering skills have nothing to do with the -result. It's true that, somehow, the rational thinking skills derived from -engineering, programming or so are useful, but there's not direct relationship. - -So, if you take the decision to run your own thing, be prepared to deal with -all this stuff. - -Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I'm just thinking about it. - -That said, I'd also like to add the fact that ElenQ Technology has a not very -common component that makes this discussion much more interesting: we have -ethics. More than that, the most important point there is that we have **our -own** ethics so we need to align our goals with our clients' quite often and -that's a complex issue. - -Nothing really hard if you work for companies or people that have an ethical -component you'd think, right? - -Also, in the case they don't it sounds impossible to run this kind of business, huh? - -Ok, I'll try to answer from my (biased) perspective.

He's really good. I've seen him drawing, -designing and making things since I was a child. - -Further than the dozens of tons of DIY books that can be found at my parent's -house, my father had no specific training on crafts. He's a lawyer, he finished -his studies at almost 60 and he never worked as a lawyer and he probably won't -because he's retired now. - -Maybe because of him my sister and I love making stuff and probably thanks to -my mother's math skills now we are both engineers. We both have been trained on -how to design and how to create stuff in a controlled way which is the part I -like the most and the part that conforms the biggest portion of my job at ElenQ -Technology. - -Since I moved out from my parent's I don't have tools to make a project like -this, neither the workspace to make it, so I needed my father's DIY skills and -his almost pathological tendency to collect tools and materials. I wanted to -make it by myself at the beginning but I was busy and he is retired so... -Perfect match. - - |
