# Starting at Galoy
|
|
|
|
- My notes when starting at Galoy, since I still don't have access to some company system where I can keep this.
|
|
|
|
## Accounts setup
|
|
|
|
- Nicolas asked me to create a Keybase account. This is it: https://keybase.io/pablomartincalvo.
|
|
- Next, I had to dowloand the keybase app. I followed these instructions: https://keybase.io/docs/the_app/install_linux
|
|
- Next, I verified my email.
|
|
- I bought two Yubikeys to use with my accounts. The exact model is Yubikey 5C NFC. The invoice is attached in this folder.
|
|
- I tried adding to my personal gmail account. Simple enough.
|
|
- I also checked my old mini yubi from Marcel that I've never used. The pin is slightly bent, but it still works. I'll add it as well, it shouldn't hurt.
|
|
|
|
- now, for the galoy account
|
|
- pwd undisciplinedkoalasrompenpiernas1984 got to put this in bitwarden
|
|
- I added all three keys to this account, so I can log in with any of the three. I'll have satoki at home, nakaki at transforma, and xiki on me.

Morning morning Justin
|
|
|
|
I was jotting down some notes ahead of the 21st, thinking about my onboarding and what stuff needs to be done. I have a few bullets, which hopefully we can merge with what you had in mind so I can hit the ground next monday with some clarity.
|
|
|
|
- Regarding people:
|
|
- I'm tempted to say Galoy is small enough that I should probably just try to grab a coffee with everyone... if you have a different vision and think I should go for a short-list of colleagues instead, please let me know.
|
|
- Do we have a list of the timezones for each person?
|
|
- Jose already reached out offering himself to give me a tour around the data side of things. I'll book that on Monday unless you think we should use that time for other things first.
|
|
- Regarding accesses and tooling:
|
|
- Do you have any list of apps/systems/etc I should get access for?
|
|
- Same for whatever tooling you consider a must for our work.
|
|
- Regarding docs, do we have any specific place for documentation outside of whatever can be found in the Github repos?
|
|
- About next monday... should we go ahead and block some time to chat and get started?
|
|
- Anything else you thing we should cover before the 21st?
|
|
|
|
I have a gazillion more detailed questions... but I don't want to bombard you already if we will just chat next monday (unless you would prefer the wall of questions).
|
|
|
|
BTW, I don't know if we already have some kind of onboarding page/checklist. If not, I'll take the chance that I'm seeing everything with fresh eyes so that we can use that with the next person who comes around. If there's, I'll just update whatever is missing outdated.
|
|
|
|
Thanks

## Equipment
|
|
|
|
| Item | Price | Rationale |
|
|
|------------------------------- |---------: |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| 2 Yubikeys (already bought) | 156.68€ | Required for MFA. |
|
|
| 4TB HDD + SATA to USB adapter | ~100.00€ | For laptop full disk backups. I want to avoid having to set everything from scratch in case of loss or failure. |
|
|
| 16Gb SODIM RAM stick | ~50.00€ | To upgrade laptop from 16gb to 32gb. When doing the technical test, compiling the project put my 16gb under pressure. I think an upgrade will payback nicely in terms of experience. |
|
|
| Decent USB Mic | ~50.00€ | For my coworking space, which might get a bit noisy at times. |
|
|
| Extra HDMI Port for laptop | ~32.00€ | I have everything I need for dual external monitors, except for an extra HDMI port in my laptop. | |
