Aldras Automation
Founder and Software Engineer, 2019 - 2021
The Inspiration
Working in my engineering and sales internships and co-ops, I
saw firsthand how much mindless repetitive tasks were part of
everyday routines. Naturally, these processes are very important
but I was inspired to use my technical background to automate as
much as I could.
I started with specialized scripts coded for specific tasks like
standard work documentation or data processing. As I saw more
demand from coworkers and friends, I began to consider how to
make this kind of automation available everywhere.
The Application
Since my main goal was to democratize software automation, I
knew a graphical user interface was nonnegotiable. A significant
barrier to entry to others using my approach of specialized
scripts is the knowledge and experience with coding that I
possessed.
I worked on the logic and distribution mechanisms for months,
resulting in a powerful full-stack application that can work on
any Windows computer and can even record workflow actions for
later execution.
The Business
I also worked on the business side, creating the business
entity, establishing our financial systems, creating the legal
documents, and determining the short term and long term
strategies.
I created the business website, integrated payment processing,
and designed the education and customer service backend systems.
Finally, I directed to formation of our marketing campaigns
including our defining introductory video above.
