Product-driven, polyglot software engineer. I've spent over two decades working at every stage of the software development life-cycle, in a variety of roles and using a plethora of languages and platforms. My software interests include Ruby, Elixir, relational databases, Behavior-Driven Development, requirements management and agile methods.

As well as an avid reader of anything on software development, quantum mechanics and Iain M.Banks novels, I love writing blog posts and speaking at conferences, having done so at several national and international software-related conferences. I have published two books: "Managing Software Requirements the Agile Way", came out of a need to improve some of the entrenched practices in managing requirements in the agile world. "The Professional ScrumMaster Guide" provides guidance on getting certified and applying Scrum pragmatically.
