Description: 
When I arrived at Credit Karma I needed to find and connect with people from different teams across multiple projects and verticals.
The problem was that there was no good way to accomplish this except by talking to as many people at the company as possible to find out about the different roles and groups working on things. I decided I needed a way to search for people in order to speed up my workflow.
This resulted in the design and implementation of a pet project called Aura. This presentation is about the process of creating Aura and how it gathered a cult following of support at Credit Karma. I will be covering the problem space, the technology and the methods of winning mind share that led to the execution of the project. This includes React, Electron, Firebase and a host of other libraries and services that allowed Aura to be built over some weekends without the need of a server.
