‘Software engineering is more creative than people realise’
Summary
Hannah Neary is a product engineer at Evervault, the infosec start-up that was founded in 2018 by Dubliner and former BT Young Scientist winner Shane Curran. She initially turned down a spot on Evervault’s founding team to move to Australia, but later returned to Dublin and joined the company. Describing a typical day in her role, Neary said the company is quite atypical in that it doesn’t do daily stand-up meetings, opting instead for weekly ones on Tuesdays. We want engineers to be able to write code easily, and we’ll deploy it so they can obtain the security guarantees without having to spend weeks or months figuring it out themselves. I find a lot of my time, I switch between typical feature work, looking at customer queries or monitoring how our production systems are doing.
