Software has just a few core principles, and thought leaders, everything else is detail – and people. It's a “team sport” where the end-game is to deliver value to people; in organisations, as users, and for maintainers – all of those who come “next”, and rely on the technical stuff being right.Max is an experienced project owner and software engineer with over 20 years at the interface between digital technologies and the audiences they serve. Prior professional qualifications add to his experience with business process analysis, requirements capture and software construction to deliver better technology that is able to serve the organisation (people) and the users (people) and maintainers (people). But the 'devil', as always, is in the detail; a methodical approach to maintaining engagement, clear objectives, and flexible, Agile, development processes provide real support to those making the daily detailed decisions in code. The best ways forward always come from dialogue, understanding and agreement – for clean, methodical, construction. With a history in leadership, both professional and community, Max brings experience in facilitation, motivation and organisation, including Toastmasters at both club and division level, and revitalising AFS Intercultural support on the North Shore – but more importantly, in business environments, roles and cultures – lateral thinking and engagement resolves complexity.Specialities : | Requirements Capture and Analysis | Risk Management | Application Architecture | Software Design, Construction | Agile Processes | Application Delivery | People skills | Leadership |
