I’m a Renaissance man trapped in a specialist’s body. I started as a biologist. That’s why I became an IT guy. I love science, but it doesn’t pay the bills. I’ve been an IT professional for many years. I was a software developer with an elegant language for a more civilized age. I became a Quality Assurance Analyst because it’s better to give than receive. I have been a process improvement specialist because it’s easier to negotiate with a terrorist than a Methodologist. I’ve worked as a Scrum Master and Agile Coach. I have drunk the Kool-Aid, and it tastes good. I’m currently focusing on writing and speaking. Agile is a philosophy, not a methodology. In interviews, people ask how long you have been Agile. My answer is always. I didn’t know what to call it before.
