I love connecting with new people and genuinely love hearing about what you do & why you do it.
But:
- You need to send me a genuine, personal message in your connection request.
- If any message you send me appears “spammy” or automated or generic or copied/pasted I’ll likely delete it and block you.
- Don’t lie in your connection request. If you say you viewed my LinkedIn profile I can see if that is true or not.
- I’m genuinely keen to provide value to my connections and if you want to connect with me you have to provide some value to me. Connecting with me solely to sell me something is not valuable.
I am more than happy to help with anything related to data, analysis, technology, or risk. Honestly, if you have a question or need a hand always feel free to ask.
I’m not great with email because I get so much spam, junk, CC’s, and unnecessary messages. If you have my email there’s probably a good reason for it and you’re welcome to email me.
If you “work with a team of developers that can [solve all my problems to perfection, fly a rocket to the moon, and] solve my IT needs”. Don’t bother connecting. I am certain you turn out buggy code, do not adequately comment/document your code, do not adequately elicit requirements, and working with 10-year-old technologies.
I’m on:
IMPORTANT: If you wish to connect with me, at the bottom of your message (email, LinkedIn, DM, text, whatever) put the date today in YYYY-MM-DD format. Doing so will prove to me you read my “rules of engagement”. Otherwise I’ll ignore you.
