Ask an Onner: Eduardo Santamaria

​In this installment of Ask an Onner, we’re spotlighting the talented Eduardo Santamaria (@Edu), who is a Lead Software Engineer on the Connectors team. Tell us a bit about you and your role.Eduardo: I’m Eduardo Santamaria and I’m a Lead Software Engineer on the Connectors team at Onna. While I’m purely working on software development now, my background is a bit “different,” having graduated from university as a Biotechnologist and soon after realizing that my favorite part was  Bioinformatics. What drew me to it the most was knowing that doing research is awesome, but that it’s also very vocational and sometimes slow-paced, and I preferred the computation approach since the feedback loop is much quicker. As a Lead Software Engineer on the Connectors team, I’m mostly responsible for getting content out of third-party services and into the Onna platform, plus the associated functionalities that come with it (authentication to those services, data collection configuration, and scheduling

Legalweek 2023

This week I had the privilege of attending Legalweek in New York with many of my Onna colleagues and our Leadership Team. We aligned objectives with existing customers and learned about their projects and how we can assist them moving forward.  We were thrilled to meet with many prospects and explore our strategies with Enterprises presenting solutions to their challenges.  I am always grateful for the opportunity to attend these events since there is so much talent and everyone is more than willing to share experiences as we grow together.  As you can imagine the buzz all week long was around AI, new data types, applications, and the impact it will have on eDiscovery but also how it will impact the practice of law in general.  I remember when the internet became a part of our workflows and changed everything.  We are once again at the cusp of major change in our industry. Onners Danielle Gonzalez, @JWild and myself were committed to running early Wednesday through the park with other

Congrats to Amy Farrow, CIO Lyft, on her Bay Area Orbie 2022 Award for Large Enterprise.

Part of the reason why I wanted Onna to create a community was for us to unite as a community to support each other and to celebrate our successes.  Huge congratulations to @afarrow of Lyft for receiving the Bay Area ORBIE 2022 Award for Large Enterprise.The ORBIE Award honors CIOs who have demonstrated excellence in technology leadership. This award has special meaning because finalists and winners are selected by an independent peer review process, "led by prior ORBIE recipients, based upon leadership and management effectiveness, business value created by technology innovation and engagement in industry and community endeavors." We love seeing our Onna customers getting the attention they deserve! Given I don’t have exposure to all the cool things everyone is doing, please turn yourself, your peers, and your teams in, so we can celebrate together!  Again, congratulations to @afarrow for this well-deserved award!Sincerely,Michelle
