I've been involved in information technology and software development for my entire career. I'm a published expert in software testing and the creator of TAME - a model-driven platform for specifying and generating software tests. I delve deeper into the world of software design and architecture in the books I co-authored, Executable UML: A Foundation for Model-Driven Architecture and Applied SOA: Service-Oriented Architecture and Design Strategies.
In many professions, technologies and practices continually change. That’s why the agile philosophy is fundamentally about experimentation, curiosity, learning, and a willingness to try new things. So, to be an effective instructor, consultant, and course developer, I like to be continually hands-on, putting theory into practice.
This willingness to try new things spills over into my personal life. I love to travel, and I always try to visit new places. My partner and I have been to over 100 countries and became members of the Travelers' Century Club. When I'm not traveling, I'm learning and improving my craft – oh and talking. I'm a professional chatterbox.
