In today’s episode of The ConTech Crew, we’re going to be discussing the human aspect of technology with someone who knows more about it than anyone else, Adam McKertcher.

Adam did a Bachelor of Commerce degree in accounting, and as he worked in that space, he noticed that so many of the problems people faced were technical or administrative and not dealing with the human aspect of the industry.

Adam decided to pivot and did a master's degree in industrial design. He hopped into a design studio for a bit but hated the work before starting his own company doing web design.

Now, Adam works for Graham, where he leads a team of developers and analysts to build solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in the industry.

In today’s episode, we discuss the intersection of people, business, and technology.
