What I do
Hint: I’m more than a software developer
Software delivery is hard. There are many tiny details that need to be considered, technologies to master, and business cases to learn. Delivering working software is a huge challenge.
It’s also expensive. A small software development team (2 good developers and a project manager) can easily cost $250,000/year.
Finally, it’s risky. Studies have shown that most projects are 6 to 12 months behind schedule and 50 to 100% over budget.
We try to deliver software:
1.With high quality
2.On budget
3.On time
I present topics and give talks to help developers and Agile Managers hit those goals.
I provide services as an information resource for .NET Developers and Agile Managers to get a glimpse into how I work in my capacity as an SDLC auditor. This serves as a starting point for further conversation.
On the .NET Developer side, I focus on two topics:
•Staying on track
•Keeping the quality high
•Working with management
On the Agile Management side:
•Be efficient
•Measure and adjust

Barrett was very helpful in solving my issues in a timely manner. His explanations on how to solve the coding issues I had was very useful and am capable of debugging a bit better in case I run into a similar issue. Thanks!

He is quick and he takes decent time understanding the problem before going for paid session. He will fix it very quickly jumping into problem I would definitely recommend him.
