Introduce Yourself!

[Keira Gallagher]

👋 Welcome to the Philly Atlassian Community Events chapter!

Please take a few minutes to introduce yourself to your fellow Philadelphians! And I know a lot of you are in the Greater Philadelphia area - the suburbs count too! 🙂

In your intro, share anything you're comfortable sharing, like:

• Your name
• Where you work
• How many years you've used Atlassian tools
• The Atlassian tools you're using (or have used)
• What draws you to Atlassian tools
• Any fun facts about yourself you'd like to share! 🏄‍♀️

@Keira Gallagher - 🙌 I'll start! (And would love to see your answers!)

• Where you work: I'm an admin for many SaaS systems, including Jira
• How many years you've used Atlassian tools: too long
• The Atlassian tools you're using (or have used): Bamboo, Crowd, Bitbucket, HipChat, Jira, Confluence, Statuspage, Trello, Loom ... Arc ✨
• What draws you to Atlassian tools: Atlassian's tools are meant to solve challenges that my teams and I face every day - and we love solving challenges!
• Any fun facts about yourself you'd like to share! I made an intro page on Community (that needs updating) in the Welcome Center - on it, I mention I love coffee. I think I love coffee too much. ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

Hello everyone! Checking in from West Chester out in the burbs!

• I work at Cotality (formerly CoreLogic) but fully remote. Our big offices are outside LA and Dallas.
• I've been using Atlassian tools for about 7 years now, admin for 3 ... interesting years
• Atlassian tools you're using: Jira, Jira Service Management, Jira Product Discovery, Confluence. We have a few Trello users, but not an approved tool, so we're working on dwindling usage.
• What draws you to Atlassian tools: It used to be how flexible, simple, and functional everything was. Now that Atlassian is going more the direction of ServiceNow, I'm asking myself this question more often.
• Hoping to get out to Teams in Anaheim again this year, so if anybody else is going, would love to do a Philly meet-and-greet. 

Thanks for getting this going @Keira Gallagher
