Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2024-07-24 17:10:25

we are hitting limits and our usage shouldn't be so we are trying to find the leak

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2024-07-24 17:11:18

What is that?

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2024-07-24 17:38:59

Its a low-code tool that we use for our API integrations to parse the Law Ruler email automations and post the info to our clients API

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2024-07-24 17:39:19

It is saying we are hitting a usage limit but there is no way that we should be hitting the limits

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2024-11-07 15:05:23

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)

2025-02-13 16:34:15

2025-02-13 17:18:21

Yea sorry let’s do it tomorrow I have to head out actually it’s late here

👍 Nicholas McFadden
James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-02-20 12:45:18

How’s the tables looking

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-02-20 12:47:17

So I got all leads and all contracts pulled in. Turner made some joins but all the info Leadspedia info should be in there to build any views you would need. If for some reason there is then we can grab it but should have what you need. The data isn't on a schedule but I can run it or provide you the code to locally run the update.

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-02-20 12:47:39

about 1.4M leads and 850K sold leads

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-02-20 12:52:14

Let me take a look seems like James turner handled my task for me do u know the table name

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 15:57:13

hey man have some time to talk in a day or 2

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 15:58:36

Sure, in regards to?

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 15:58:52

ryan said something about you need a data engineer

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:00:09

Yes in reality someone with good programming skills. I have to keep Dustin on Integrations and the rest of the guys just don't have the Python skills I need

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:00:47

i have a engineer i use that builds all my stocks algorithims as well as my models he is one of my business partners

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:01:15

and is looking for a new job highly recommend

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:01:37

in gcp very hands on

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:03:21

that is great! Any idea the salary range he is expecting though and would this be for contract work or FTE? If FTE everything that has been addressed to me is that they have to be full-time in office. Is he Vegas based or willing to relocate?

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:05:05

he will most likely be remote, i can ask him but 80-100k i think is good enough him.

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:05:14

does he have to be in person

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:05:24

he might be willing to relocate

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:05:28

he is

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:05:50

i am going over my stock algo with him now so hes on the phone

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:07:14

Ok that works comp wise but I would have to get approval from Cam to do remote and his general policy is no one is remote. If it is contract work then I don't think he cares.

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:08:42

he is open to contract work as well, he is overseas in germany, let me send you is information i found him on upwork and been working with him for the past 3-4 months building out my stock algorithims and my whole end to end gcp pipeline for it. contract might even be the best

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:10:29

Ok ya I will run it by Cam

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:11:03

But I am now curious about these stock algos! Care to share? LOL

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:13:30

Is he a US citizen?

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:14:50

Yes lol so basically I am focusing on currencies and he has helped me build my algorithms so it looks at the last 2 months worth of data and at every 30 seconds minute interval it predicts the next price and trend of price for the next 2 hours basically so I can when and where to exit trades

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:15:16

Nice!

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:16:03

Does it execute it for you or just output the strategy?

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:19:10

I built one as an example for some project if I recall correctly but never had it actually execute. Would like to maybe try it out with some fun money now that I am little more comfortable with things.

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:20:36

I can build a strategy to execute it without me which would be freaking amazing to see how it performs but I haven’t got that for if u can imagine candlestick chart it’s just an additional 2 line graphs on there so I can see where price and trend is going

👍 Nicholas McFadden
Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-05 16:52:01

Ok so Cam said no contractors and has to be in office

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-03-06 08:49:40

yea hes been pushing in office alot

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 16:43:27

What IDE do y use for python

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 16:46:32

Thinking of using GitHub code spaces as a team

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 16:48:26

Was using VS Code but we just got PyCharm we are learning to use it

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 16:48:51

Code spaces or Google Colab are good options for cloud based ones

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 16:49:36

Colab is nice because it can be easily integrated with the rest of GCP products

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 17:03:40

Collab makes me scream can’t use it lol I think and like vs code but I hear u on the integration part I wish we was in azure

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 18:04:56

I feel you the only reason I say it because you can directly integrate and the notebook runs automatically/sxheduled

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 18:05:26

Nice that you don’t necessarily have to refactor from notebook to production code

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 18:15:54

What’s your cell?

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 18:16:07

I am at the Google Next conference

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 18:17:43

There are notebooks in BigQuery built off of Colab but seems nice to be able to do everything in one place.

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 18:21:17

I’m looking for ways to help the team improve and mitigate some of the lack of coding experience

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 18:22:12

Worry less about the Dev setup, let Google handle the interactions, and let us speed up

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 18:22:51

We need to use thinks like GitHub copilot and or cursor ai

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 18:22:58

So it helps with ai coding assistance

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 18:23:06

I want to use that as well

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 18:55:47

Google has Gemini, which will do code assistance

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 18:57:59

I’ve looked at cursor too but feel like u would rather have the integrated Google ecosystem vs just code generation. Can always just copy and paste the responses back into the IDE but like I said Google has Gemini now

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-10 18:59:27

I haven’t looked into Azure but my first reaction is Azure and AWS are less user friendly and again worried about how the team will operate

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-11 05:27:33

yea your deff in a different bandwith from team side of things than me, but i feel like its something we can work through, azure and aws to me once u know it its simple, but azure has databricks which is an all incompasing ide and most users prob wouldnt have to mess with other services, i feel like whats important for u is the sharing of sql code and docs correct

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-11 07:57:40

i can get ryan to sign off on whatever we need, especiallt if we do it as a team

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-15 11:00:20

have you looked into cursor ai

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-15 12:25:20

No not really

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-15 12:25:50

It’s just another ai tool that kinda helps and assist with writing the code for u
