Pete McBreen |
|
Pete is an independent consultant who
actually enjoys writing and delivering software. Despite spending a lot of
time writing, teaching and mentoring, he goes out of his way to ensure that
he does hands-on coding on a live project every year. Pete specializes in
finding creative solutions to problems that software developers face. After
many years of working on formal and informal process improvement initiatives,
he took a sideways look at the problem and realized, "Software
development is meant to be fun. If it isn't, the process is wrong." Pete
lives in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada and has no plans to move back to a big
city. |
