I’m a renaissance man trapped in a specialist’s body. My degree is in biologist. That’s why I’m in IT. I’ve worked as a software developer with an elegant language for a more civilized age. I became a QA guy because breaking things is therapeutic. I became a process specialist because it’s easier to negotiate with a terrorist than a Methodologist. I have been working as a Scrum Master and Agile Coach. I have drunk the Kool-aid and it tastes good. Lately, I have been focusing on writing and speaking. Agile is a philosophy, not a methodology. How long have I been agile? My answer: always.
