Welcome
Welcome to my website / blog.
My name is Sean Gates I am a Psychology and Organisational Communications graduate who seized the opportunity to abandon a senior management career in 1990 and turn my hobby (software development) into my new career.
Throughout this career I has been driven by two questions: What makes good software?, and why are some development teams more successful than others? These questions sparked dual interests in application architecture and development processes and methodologies.
In 2003 I flicked the agile light switch and have never looked back. I have subsequently returned to senior management and consultancy roles – this time in the software industry - and continue to be driven by the same two questions which have merged into one: How can we do this better?
Today I spend my time helping software teams be the best they can by sharing this experience and the knowledge that I have acquired over the years. I am an advocate for Scrum and do not wear a T shirt that says I'd rather be coding - but will admit to several development environments at home.
