SPECIALTIES:
I’ve assisted organizations with improving their capability to predictably deliver quality software sooner by providing “hands-on” embedded coaching and leadership, and “real-world based” tutorials on pragmatically applying modern management methods and fundamental lean and agile principles and practices. My expertise includes an “in-depth” understanding in applying (lean/flow-based) metrics to guide and validate progress, using the Kanban Method to improve business workflows, agile project management, eXtreme programming (XP) engineering practices, pattern oriented software architectures, and “SOLID” OO design.
GLOBAL REACH, COMMUNITY AND EDUCATION:
I started and co-lead the Agile Denver Kanban SIG (special interest group), and also actively contribute to local and global groups devoted to the learning and applying of lean and agile principles, processes, and practices, including Agile-Denver, Limited WIP Society, and Lean & Kanban University. My formal education includes an MS in Computer Information Systems (w/Technical Management emphasis), and a BS in Applied Math/CS.
