About

Professionally, I'm a software engineer focusing on agile and lean software development and software process improvement. I work to help engineers, teams, and organizations be successful. I have experience with a wide variety of types of software, ranging from embedded systems to desktop applications to web applications.

In my spare time, I'm a runner, a photographer, and a casual gamer.

Find me on LinkedIn, Twitter, Mastodon, Reddit, Medium, GitHub, Quora, and ProjectManagement.com. Support my freely available (CC BY and CC BY-SA) content through PayPal, Buy me a Coffee, Patreon, or my Amazon Wishlist.
