All modern businesses depend on software. Software has many moving parts that can feel intimidating and stand in the way of a business achieving its full potential. My mission is to unlock the potential. My experiences from a wide selection of industries allow me to quickly get hands-on in a new environment and provide insights and actions to achieve improvements. By leveraging the correct tools and techniques I can help foster a highly productive developer culture that will boost any business toward its goals.
I bring expert knowledge on how to design, implement and maintain a flexibleand scalablesoftware solutions on a budget. It can be either a brand newidea or an evolutionthat needs restructuring. I prefer to be hands-onand get involved in the codebasefrom day one. This means for instance establishing good code quality,ensuring the necessary validationmechanisms are in place and that repetitive tasks such as buildand deploymentare automated.
Today, people are the most expensive component of software development. By optimizing team communicationand productivityit is possible to achieve huge financial gainsas it becomes possible to deliverthe right thing more frequently and with higher quality. I coach teams and individuals to improve their game and happinessin a highly collaborativeenvironment. — Simon
