Episode 079 of Underserved features Shani Gentry Cincotti. Our first Alabama native on the show (Roll Tide!), Shani shares about growing up pursuing journalism but realizing that the tech industry might be more welcoming/pay better. A stint in electronic photo asset management bridged the two fields, and a love of relational databases cemented the transition into tech. We discuss when adding hardware actually slows things down, how the cleaning crew may forecast company closures, and mentoring women in the healthcare technology space.   Shani on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanigentry/ Former boss David on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidedube/ MerlinOne, a digital asset management software company: https://merlinone.com Plan your visit to the George W Bush Presidential Library research room: https://www.georgewbushlibrary.gov/research/plan-research-visit Together Rising’s fundraising page for women in Iran: https://fundraise.givesmart.com/form/oF6E3A?vid=utzt2
