Software architect, RokkinCat

As a software architect at downtown Milwaukee-based software contracting company RokkinCat, Henke works in a tech-saturated environment. To manage his projects at work and his life outside of it, Henke relies on a few tools that help keep him organized. Here are a few of his favorites:


Pocket

“I use it to save articles or academic papers or technical posts – if I can’t read it right away, I’ll download and save it so I can read it offline later. It’s also helpful when I need to refer back to an article later if something related to it comes up.”

Spreadsheets

“Spreadsheets in general – I love spreadsheets. Pretty much all of my projects are in spreadsheets, whether it’s data analysis or a budget or an estimate. It lets me play around with numbers. Everything starts in a spreadsheet and some turn into more complex projects.”

iOS reminders

“I use iOS reminders for everything. I have daily reminders to read or study or exercise so I can make progress on a goal every day, even if it’s just 15 minutes. I have monthly reminders for budgets or one-off reminders to do something in the morning or follow up on something. I have dozens at any given time. It’s easy because I don’t have to think about it anymore or hold it in my head. I just know it’s in reminders and I’ll be reminded when I need to be.”

GitHub

“This is what we use for tracking our code for software – to see all the changes and how it’s changed over time, so you can collaborate. I publish a lot of my own code that I do, so anybody can come and see it and work with it themselves and I’ll do the same for other people.” n
