About Me

* VP of Innovation and Products at SCT Software * Microsoft MVP (one of roughly 120 Dev Tools MVPs in the US) * Organizer of .NET DC * Fun fact: I once led a team to deliver a modernization project that analysts called "more complex than the moon landing". * I'm the lead of the NUnit docs team and (as of Feb 2023) am a member of the NUnit Core Team. * I am a huge fan of the agility & DevOps mindsets. You can find me collaborating for smaller loops almost everywhere I go. I love taking groups from A -> B. * I love teaching and have been a certified instructor for the ScrumAlliance CSD certification and the ICAgile Agile Testing & Automation certifications.
