Certifications Received

I worked with Jason for over a year and found him to have a deep insight into software development far beyond the realms of "agile". Jason has the enviable talent of being able to make people figure it out for themselves rather than prescribe solutions himself. Jason was instrumental in changing the belief system of the department which resulted in a fundamental and very positive structural change in the organisation.

Jason has a rich and powerful grasp of the principles that underpin the construction of high-integrity software that is built to last.

As a coach and mentor he is at once inspiring, challenging, and supportive. He is not afraid to be confrontational, and makes a great agitator and agent for change if given sufficient mandate to implement that change.
