The Flex Factor with... Sudesh

Say hello to Sudesh Lutchman; senior back end engineer, delivery manager for the Taiichi team here at Flexciton and aspiring jet pilot.

Tell us what you do at Flexciton?

I’m a delivery manager / backend engineer for the Taiichi Team - I help plan the team’s work and coordinate its delivery within the team.

What does a typical day look like for you at Flexciton?

A typical day for me at Flexciton is split into two main responsibilities. The first bit is working with product and other delivery managers to ensure that we are building the right things and that we are building them at the right time. The second responsibility is ensuring that Taiichi runs smoothly. This means helping teammates with tickets and importantly trying to identify and remove any impediments that the team might be having.

What do you enjoy most about your role?

I enjoy the challenge. At Flexciton we are solving a very complex problem. Not only is the core problem difficult to solve but managing the software development of these solutions is equally complicated. As a delivery manager and an engineer I get the pleasure of trying to simplify both.

If you could give one piece of advice to someone, what would it be?

Start simple and do not be afraid to “fail.” This has definitely helped me have some amazing experiences and learn valuable lessons along the way.

If you could summarise working at Flexciton in 3 words, what would they be?

Talented people. Exciting.

If you could swap jobs with anyone for a day, who would it be and why?

Jet pilot - hopefully the skills transfer during this job swap and I get to zip over entire continents in a few hours. If the skills don’t transfer… I’ll do my best.

Tell us about your best memory at Flexciton?

Channy (Head of Operations) getting my start date wrong and the funny conversation that followed. Channy was expecting me to be in the office full time (before my start date) and I was regretting telling them that I wasn’t working at the moment. This led to some really confused looks being shared between us.
