I am very honoured to have recently been appointed as a MuleSoft Mentor but bring a lifetime of experience and passion in IT. Over my career I have been a contractor for more years than I care to remember but this has provided a wide and varied amount of experience in Local Government, Insurance,Utilities, Banking, Fixed and Mobile telcommunications and for the last 15 years in public transport.

Initially as a consultant I worked as a Business Analyst but always had a passion for data which was shared from the very early years of the Agile Manifesto with Agile ways of working.

I have been fortunate enough to have worked as an Agile coach and Scrum Master and have always looked to implement these skills in a thinking way rather than to follow the Agile receipe. love to find what works within an organisation rather than apply the theory without any thought. I have always found that it is relatively easy to pass Agile examinations but its really difficult to implement the learning well and it is always changing.

Ouside of work I am committed to improving road and in particlar driving safety and therefor after passing my ROSPA and Institute of Advanced Motorists Advanced driving test I went on to become a National Observer and now A Institure of Advanced Motorists Master Mentor the highest level of advanced driving available to a civilian.
