introducting a new initiative: littleTIGER

Big potential in a small packet

I am soon to turn 40, and it seems to follow like this - every decade things shift and move. Never on time or in the way you expect. A train that is always late, but always arrives.

In my late teens and early twenties, I entered the theatre. In my later twenties and early thirties I got serious about my career and got a job. I am now at the cusp of my forties, and like a lazy clock, my time with Dotfusion is slowly winding to an end as I step into a fractional CTO role there post this month.

I have placed a small foot forward and revived the old collective - under a new name - littleTIGER.

What is a Little Tiger?

Throughout my work and personal journeys, I have been involved with companies or people who have punched above thier weight. They have been small and fierce. And grown things that were quite smashing. They have been and made little tigers.

With organizations like Harami Theatre, Adishakti, and Dotfusion - to projects like colloquy, fellowMS, Butter and Mashed Banana, or the Ramayana Project - its always been a small idea that grows into something much more than the little gem of an idea it was.

So that is the seed for the name :

The Scene

1. littleTIGER runs on Shape Up + EOS.
2. littleTIGER commits to great ideas.
3. littleTIGER leaves dead ideas to the hyenas.
4. littleTIGER works with people who work to live.

What’s cooking?

In the pot right now and stirring over the next six weeks:

1. Streamlining multi modal publishing workflows for research journals
2. NextJS extensions to seamlessly integrate full text search with Algolia or Typesense
3. A redesigned and recoded interface and SDK for Manyway’s Wayfinder
