Coaching

I’m a coach and trainer at Industrial Logic. If your software development organization is struggling with quality issues and unable to continuously deliver working software, I can help. My focus is on structuring software development teams for fast flow and identifying light-weight processes and technical practices that can help improve delivery while focusing on technical quality.

I embed with software development teams to teach and model continuous process improvements and technical practices that result in the continuous improvement of code quality.
