Expert in Microsoft technologies, developer, architect, writer and speaker for two decades, in New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Western Europe and United States. Particularly focused on software product development as a team sport, productivity improvements in tools, processes, and making high quality product development humanizing and sustainable. Plenty of time consulting to corporate IT as well. Have spent 11 years as a principal at Microsoft, been an independent consultant, and worked in several start-ups. Now own my own product development company. Lean and agile practices coach, software craftsman, etc, etc, etc. Spent a great deal of time helping product development teams behave as trusted and responsible adults and focused on customers. And a great deal of time trying to try to replace command and control with empowerment in traditional organisations in a wide variety of industries, sectors and geographies. Had my share of successes and failures in all that. Spend a lot of time on the tools, building frameworks and developer tools, and mentoring those coming on into this industry. ©
