Mike Beedle

I wear many hats: coach managers, coach architects, mentor programmers, develop code, test, or talk to C-level executives (CEOs, CIOs, CFOs, CPOs, CGOs, etc.). I do whatever it takes to deliver value to the customer and complete projects.

I use Scrum (www.agilescrum.com ), Balanced Agility (www.balancedagility.com ), or XBreed (www.xbreed.net ) to develop software, with a high-dosage of Open Source tools: CVS, Apache, Tomcat, Bugzilla, etc.; and practices: www.dreamsongs.com

I have done Scrum since 1995. Most of the appliations we develop as of late are J2EE applications.

Favorite Programming tools: Emacs Editor, Eclipse (Eclipse Ide). I like Emacs more to program in Lisp (specially with SLIME www.cliki.net ), Haskell, Curry, Erlang or C++ but I like Eclipse Ide to program in Java.

I am interested in a lot of stuff like agents; functional programming; logical programming; pattern-oriented programming languages; the theory of software and patterns; Agile Methods like SCRUM, XP; lofty things like business architecures (BPR, KM, supply-chain management, workflow, etc.); complexity science; and Physics. The items on this list are curiously related ;-)

Sometimes I play with Jlisa Rule Engine at night.
