Summary

Running a presidential campaign requires rapid scaling and efficient technology, as demonstrated by Sunil Sadasivan, the Deputy CTO of Cory Booker’s 2020 campaign. Within a short time frame, the campaign had to expand to hundreds of staff and volunteers, with Sunil's small tech team developing essential tools to streamline operations and maximize outreach. Using Retool, the team created a communication management system that allowed Booker to significantly increase his contact reach by efficiently organizing and prioritizing communications. Additionally, they developed an asset management tool to simplify visual content handling and a job transition form for campaign staff. The campaign’s tech strategy emphasized speed and adaptability, leveraging serverless architecture and Retool’s capabilities to rapidly prototype and deploy applications, ultimately enhancing the campaign's ability to engage with stakeholders effectively.
