I have delivered applications and custom projects using both Java and .net technology stacks, based on most of the big name paid for and open source database platforms. Even today, I find the lessons learned coding in c, c++,Informix 4gl, COBOL, Delphi, VB and Java pay handsome dividends when devising solutions for web or back systems or just talking around issues with code and test engineers.

As I have tended to work for small and medium sized companies I have had to wear multiple hats in most roles. At some point or other I have contributed work as an architect, developer, tester, business analyst, business strategist and project/programme manager. In recent years I have run teams varying in size from 5 to over 60 colleagues.

My recent career has revolved around Agile project management. Modern business requires innovative working software delivered to maximise business advantage. Agile can be a shock for companies used to large requirements documents and big up front design and micro management of teams. Agile requires the business and project team to think in a different way; a strong focus on trust, communication, collaboration, quality, good engineering practices , efficient design, knowledge building and sharing, innovation and delivery to production are essential.

I have worked with XP, SCRUM and DSDM – I have passed the Atern foundation exam, I am also a DSDM Consortium certified Agile Project Leader Practitioner. For good measure I am also Prince2 qualified. "
