I am a leading agile software developer with deep experience in software quality, leadership, project automation and analysis. I am a Chartered Engineer and a Chartered IT Professional, with an extensive track record of on-time delivery.
My principal focus these days is in helping teams to exceed their customers' expectations. I do this not by coaching, but simply by setting an example and mentoring anyone who wishes to improve their practices. In my own practice I rely on agile principles, with strong emphasis on risk management, incremental delivery of tangible results and the creation of habitable, defect-free software.
I contribute regularly to the agile software development community. I founded the UK's AgileNorth group and I'm a member of the programme committee for the British Computer Society’s SPA (Software Practice Advancement) annual conference. I am also a frequent speaker on the agile conference circuit, and I have run workshops as an invited speaker at numerous events of the British Computer Society and the Agile Alliance.
My blog Silk and Spinach is consistently ranked among the world's top 25 agile blogs by Technorati.
