This week's Auxo Spotlight is on Tyler Danielson, Principal! As part of the leadership team, Tyler helps to shape both internal strategies and external delivery. Read our conversation below.👇

⚙️ What is your Unqork journey?

I was originally a client of Unqork's and leveraged it to build a fully functional life insurance platform that included D2C Quoting and Application, Automated Underwriting, and a Policy Administration System.  We also built an entire Study Tool to allow for cheaper, repeatable research studies.

💥 What do you find most interesting / exciting about working at Auxo?

I love challenging problems.  There are a lot in insurance, not only with the product but also with legacy systems and processes that exist in the market.  We are working hard to make changes and it is fun to be on the frontlines.  The first businesses that get it are going to be way ahead of their competition!

💡 What advice would you give to someone looking to enter your field of work?

Adaptability is key to success.  We know the market is always changing.  To support that, we need software with adaptable architectures built by adaptable engineers.

🎯 What's your vision for the future of technology in your industry?

I'd really like to see businesses align more with best practices in software development.  Accounting often drives R&D spend and planning, which leads to time-based metrics and scheduling.  Once we have value-based metrics led spending, which I concede is difficult but possible, it will drive the company forward faster and cheaper.

🚴 Outside of work, what are your interests or hobbies?

I love to ride bikes and ski.  Any type of bike: gravel, fat, road, or any type of ski: downhill, backcountry, cross, and I'm in!

👏 Thank you Tyler for sharing your thoughts with us!
