Notes

The meeting brought together key technical stakeholders to discuss how Alpha's engineering resources should be allocated to maximize impact on the overall mission. Sterling Zepp, a recent Gauntlet graduate, was introduced as a potential contributor to engineering initiatives. The team discussed approaches to building more robust technical infrastructure that could support Alpha's scaling ambitions while maintaining educational quality.

Discussions included balancing immediate technical needs with longer-term platform development, ensuring technology decisions align with Alpha's educational philosophy, and creating appropriate standards for collaborative development across the growing engineering team.

The meeting represents an important step in formalizing Alpha's approach to technology as a key enabler of its educational mission. Participants emphasized the importance of engineering excellence as a core value that should be reflected in both the tools built for students and the internal systems supporting Alpha's operations.
