Dan Caddigan - UI Architect at Indigo, Vintner and Cornhole Champion.. Need we say more? \[I guess if we have to say more..\] Indigo Agriculture's tech team is a case study in building an identity and engineering culture from scratch while joining a company that isn't just about software. As one of the first "tech" employees hired into Boston's unicorn No.7, Dan shares the blueprints of intentional architectural design and its effect on future culture within the team. Sustainability, energy, growth - It's all here. Raw, honest, friendly and fun. We sat down (and like true pirates took over the CTO's office) to learn all about what it takes to meld a mission-driven mindset with world class software and world class people. Give it a listen. Laugh a little. Learn a bunch.
