Meet Bradley Millington, an integral member of the RedCloud team, whose approach to mornings involves a silent rendezvous with coffee until his brain shifts into high gear. As a consultant, Bradley revels in the lower stress levels that come with his role, relishing the ability to balance between his client work and his personal pursuits and family. In our latest “10min With” Interview, Bradley sheds light on his surprising discoveries, the secrets to maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and the distinctive company culture at RedCloud. Discover the unique facets of Bradley Millington's professional journey and personal pursuits as he shares insights into his work at RedCloud and provides a glimpse into his vibrant life beyond the office walls. What's your morning routine like before starting your work day? To be honest, I've never been much of a morning person, which is why my morning routine consists of ingesting coffee in total silence until my brain activates enough to form complete sentences. I've also taken to a steady routine of oatmeal and blueberries for breakfast, which is my attempt to make a healthy dietary choice while keeping my cholesterol in check. Lastly, I always start the day by reading through the top stories in the New York Times. I gave up social media for this habit during the pandemic and never looked back! Have there been any surprising discoveries about yourself through your work at RedCloud? I've been pleasantly surprised by the lower stress levels I've experienced working as a consultant, rather than a full-time employee. After a full day of client work, I can turn my attention to my hobbies and family each evening, and I'm not obligated to fill out that pesky performance review every six months. I can be satisfied knowing I deliver value to the client each day, without it completely taking over my life. How do you maintain a healthy work-life balance in your role? See above! I am also fortunate to work for a team that values flexibility and allows me space for things like doctor's appointments and mid-day errands when necessary. There is a great deal of trust among my colleagues that we will each do our part while also allowing space for us to conduct our personal lives. Additionally, my team freely shares glimpses into their personal lives in chat or during small talk at the beginning of meetings, which brings a healthy dose of humanity to the workplace. My colleagues have also included me in their social gatherings outside of the office. I recently competed in a 5k run with my extended organization and also participated in a backyard potluck BBQ with my immediate team. Building these social connections has made my time at work all the more relaxed, fun, and rewarding. How would you describe the company culture at RedCloud, and how does it impact your work at the client (MSFT in this case!)? I really appreciate how RedCloud welcomes consultants into their culture, inviting us to company gatherings, lunch-and-learns, and other company events. They could have reserved these for non-contract-based employees, but they don't, and it really makes a difference. Because of this, I feel more connected to RedCloud despite the fact that most of my time is spent immersed in my client's team culture. In my day-to-day work, I tell everyone (especially consultants from other companies) how great my company is and how supported we are.  What's a piece of obsolete technology you still have a soft spot for? I'll admit that I still buy most things as physical media instead of their digital equivalents. I still have the cassette player I bought when I was 16 years old, right next to me in my home office. Believe it or not, many self-produced musicians are still releasing cassette tapes because they are both affordable and nostalgic. I am not alone. What's one thing people don't know about you that they would be surprised to discover? I organize hardware-based electronic music events all over Seattle - sometimes 15 or more in a year. It's a personal passion, and I've met so many incredible artists and creatives in my community by doing this. My most recent event was "Sound of the Machine" on Oct 21 at the Georgetown Steam Plant, an immersive audio-visual experience consisting of 17 artists performing in a National Historic Landmark building. Last year, I produced "Velocity" - an all-day synthesizer festival consisting of educational seminars, workshops, a manufacturer trade show, and artist performances across three stages. I also host art shows at my studio in Fremont, outdoor performances in Seattle's parks, and a monthly open stage at Substation in Ballard. You can keep up with what I'm doing by following @modularseattle on Instagram! Speaking of work-life balance - this is what it looks like. ;-)

Introducing Alka Garg, a seasoned professional with an impressive track record in the realm of data privacy and tech consulting. Alka recently rejoined RedCloud after a five-year hiatus, taking on the pivotal role of developing and maturing our Privacy and Security  practice. Her mission? To provide invaluable consulting services to a Microsoft client, crafting strategies and recommendations to enhance organizational processes and operational efficiency, all while developing crucial content and privacy guidance. In a recent interview, Alka shared insights into her RedCloud experience, highlighting the company's seamless onboarding process and emphasizing the pillars of trust, integrity, and culture that set RedCloud apart in her two-decade-long career. Briefly describe your role and how long you've been at RedCloud. I recently rejoined RedCloud after five years away. My role is really two-fold: to develop and mature the Privacy and Security practice at RedCloud, develop strategies and recommendations on organizational processes and operational improvements, and to develop content and privacy guidance for a Fortune 500 technology company.   What was it like to join RedCloud (onboarding process)? The onboarding process at RedCloud is very lightweight and streamlined. Everyone is very prompt to make the whole experience very pleasant.   Given your background and other experiences, what stands out to you with RedCloud? Trust, Integrity, and Culture - I could not find anywhere else in my twenty years of career in the industry.   Where do you see the future of consulting or the future of RedCloud? Tremendous growth and success - RedCloud is not only dedicated to its clients but also to its employees.   Tell us a bit about the importance of the Privacy and Security practice and why clients seek these solutions.  A privacy program is pivotal to an organization's success regardless of size. It helps protect customers' personal data, ensures compliance with laws and regulations, minimizes the risk of data breaches, and ensures the ethical use of data. If not done correctly, organizations are at risk of financial penalties, government enforcement, loss of reputation, and erosion of customer trust. RedCloud’s Privacy and Security practice enables organizations to ensure that their data is secure and compliant with relevant regulations while also protecting their customers' privacy. Name one piece of technology you couldn’t live without and why? INTERNET. I guess I probably don’t have to answer why :)   What are you looking forward to the most this year with RedCloud? Developing and maturing RedCloud’s Privacy and Security practice and building trust relationships along the way.

Behind every successful RedCloud client partnership is a strong communicator, problem solver, and advocate…our Account Managers. Recently joining team RedCloud as a Technical Account Manager, Michael Gray plays that key role in bridging the gap between our clients and our team, ensuring that our clients’ technical needs are met with tailored solutions. We’re excited to welcome Michael to our team, and can’t wait to see his success based on a career built on embracing challenges and evolving with every opportunity. From leadership insights in “Ender’s Game” to his hobbies outside of work, his curiosity and creativity extend far beyond the workplace. Let’s dive into his journey, perspectives, and the philosophy that keeps his career growing. Describe your role and what you do in a nutshell. As a Technical Account Manager, I act as the main point of contact between the client and our team.  My role revolves around understanding the client's technical needs and working closely with our team to deliver customized solutions that meet those needs.  I make it a priority to ensure everyone has the resources, support, and information they need to succeed, ultimately working toward achieving the client’s goals and fostering a positive and productive working environment. What are you most proud of in your career so far? I’m most proud of my ability to adapt to change throughout my career. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing people on a diverse range of projects and industries. Each presents new challenges and opportunities for growth. This flexibility and openness to new experiences have not only expanded my skill set but also enriched my professional journey, making me more resilient and resourceful in the face of change. Share your go-to methods for professional development or personal growth. I’m always looking to learn and grow, whether it’s through reading articles and books or engaging with the people around me. I believe everyone has a unique perspective, and listening to others can be incredibly eye-opening. It helps me see things from different angles and broadens my understanding. I also make it a point to set achievable goals for myself, but I don’t shy away from pushing my limits by taking on new challenges. It’s important to step outside of my comfort zone to grow both personally and professionally. Equally important to me is maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I find that when I make time to enjoy the little things in life—whether it’s spending time with loved ones, pursuing hobbies, or simply taking a break—I stay grounded and refreshed. This balance helps me stay energized and focused, so I’m ready to take on whatever comes my way, both at work and in life. If you could suggest a book for the entire team to read, what would it be and why? I always recommend “Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card.  It’s a captivating story that dives into themes such as leadership, morality, empathy, and the cost of war. It’s a great blend of science fiction with real-world life lessons that stick with you well after finishing the book. What's a piece of obsolete technology you still have a soft spot for? I still shave my face in the mornings, using a badger-hair shave brush to lather the soap and a double-edged razor.  It takes a little longer than using an electric razor, but I enjoy the ritual of it, and it provides a much better shave in my experience! What's one thing people don't know about you that they would be surprised to discover? Outside of work, I love tapping into my creative side. I’ve built several pieces of furniture for my home, including a headboard, a bar, and an entertainment console for my TV. I also enjoy pyrography, the art of burning designs into wood. I typically sketch out the design first and then use a special tool with interchangeable tips to burn different types of lines and details into the wood as I go.  Share one of your favorite quotes. “Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.”

In this edition of 10 Minutes with, we get to know Aj, a Data Engineer turned Team Lead at RedCloud, who has been making significant strides in data solutions for one of our largest accounts at Google. From architecting critical compliance and risk management projects to mentoring a growing team spread across the U.S. and offshore, Aj shares insights into his professional journey, what drives his continuous growth, and even a surprising hobby that keeps him balanced. Read on to learn more about Aj’s professional philosophy, his favorite quote that keeps him grounded in technical work, and a few fun facts that reveal the person behind the data. Describe your role and what you do in a nutshell.  I joined RedCloud a year ago as a Data Engineer on a four-person team supporting a new account at Google. My primary role was to architect and deliver data solutions for stakeholders in Google’s Compliance, Safety, and Risk Management organization. Since then, the team has expanded to 12 Data Analysts and Engineers based in both the U.S. and offshore. I recently transitioned into the role of Team Lead. My current responsibilities include maintaining a high-level view of our growing project portfolio, managing task assignments, removing blockers, and providing technical mentorship to help our highly skilled team reach its full potential. What are you most proud of in your career so far?  I’ve had the pleasure of working across multiple industries, and one experience I look back on with great pride is leading noise certification testing for a jet engine manufacturer. I had the opportunity to build strong relationships with a high-profile international customer, collaborate across various departments within a large organization to plan and execute full-scale hardware testing, and even travel overseas. One project that stands out involved working closely with technical specialists to reach a critical milestone through in-depth technical analysis instead of additional engine testing—ultimately preventing unnecessary costs (and jet fuel burn!)  Share your go-to methods for professional development or personal growth.  I guess my preferred way of developing professionally is when it’s ‘ambient’—as in, my day-to-day work provides new challenges that I can sustainably stretch and grow from. A career is a long time, and for me, accumulating incremental growth has served me well. This mindset has potentially been influenced by my powerlifting hobby, which heavily emphasizes embracing the training process to achieve longer-term gains. If you could suggest a book for the entire team to read, what would it be and why?  I’ve recently found myself binging some of the Murderbot Diaries books, written from the perspective of an android with a dry sense of humor. My immediate colleagues would probably tell you that I like to foster a lighthearted office atmosphere, so perhaps my suggestion would be less specific and more toward something that will actually make you laugh out loud! What's a piece of obsolete technology you still have a soft spot for?  It’s not obsolete by any means, but I find reading a physical book to be a more comfortable experience than reading through a screen. What's one thing people don't know about you that they would be surprised to discover?  I love to make sourdough pizza from scratch! It’s a pandemic hobby that stuck. I found a recipe for the crust and sauce that worked great for me, and I’ve largely stuck with them, making minor tweaks here and there to further improve them. Things like dusting the dough balls with semolina flour before stretching them out, baking the pizza twice in a home oven (first with just the sauce, then with toppings) for an extra-crispy crust, or shredding a block of low-moisture mozzarella instead of using pre-shredded cheese. Share one of your favorite quotes.  A former mentor used to say, “All models are wrong – some are useful.” This has kept me grounded in a couple of ways when in the trenches of detailed technical work: I have a healthy skepticism of model or analysis output (especially predictive outputs), and I recognize that a tool or model doesn’t have to be perfect to add genuine value.
