Working in the software industry for over 15 years, I'd rather speak about me as a software craftsman than a software engineer. Eager to learn and to use the newest technologies – where they fit and make sense – I keep myself up to date on what is going on in the software engineering world. I'm at home in the agile style of developing software – working with scrum teams for years - I value short development cycles, unit testing, automation and integration higher than an up-front design and hundreds of pages of specification.
