Noah Ing’s README

Solutions Architect, Americas (Mid Market)

About me

  • It has been a career-long goal for me to work at GitLab ever since using GitLab for the first time
  • Prior to working at GitLab I worked as a DevOps engineer for 5 years mainly focusing on Cloud Infrastructure using AWS and GCP
  • This is my first experience being officially part of a sales team, and I love it. I feel it compliments my deep interest in performance arts
  • I have a passionate interest in Hip Hop, Jazz and Funk music. Khruangbin is my favourite band
  • I am born and raised in Toronto, Canada.

My working style

  • I bias towards action. I’m happy to iterate and learn the hard way
  • I am a visual learner and enjoy visual cues to get the point across
  • I take notes on every meeting I have. I’m very prone to forgetting so this is how I keep up
  • I like having an agenda for my meetings sprinkled with light banter and jokes
  • I am a stickler for systems and processes. I develop good habits and routines for even the most straight forward task.

What I assume about others

  • I assume others to have a sense of humour and laugh atleast once in a while
  • I assume positive intent at all times. If something comes across negatively, I typically clarify with them
  • I assume others will communicate what they are thinking transparently
  • I assume that everyone does their due dilligence before meeting
  • I assume everyone is respectful of each others time during business hours

Communicating with me

I will always do my best to provide same-day responses to customer inquiries and follow-ups unless otherwise noted. Here are the mediums I am most responsive (in order of responsiveness):

  1. Slack
  2. Email
  3. GitLab Issues (ones in which I am mentioned via @noah.ing)
  4. Mentions in Google Docs/Sheets/etc.

Again, expect a same-day response and don’t hesitate to try a different medium if my response time is poor.

Strengths:

  • Resilient
  • Team Player
  • Good Listener
