Mike Perrin is a Software Engineer at SCT Software. He possess expertise in python, agile methodologies, c#, test driven development, .net and 17 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Mike is a thoroughly impressive software engineer. He stands out with his commitment to a test-first approach and had a demonstrable ability to improve the quality of a codebase. I worked with Mike on two applications: a legacy application with no test suite and a greenfield application. In both cases, Mike championed writing tests first for every change. In the case of the legacy application, this resulted in a huge increase of the quality of the product and a corresponding decrease in the number of bugs found. For the greenfield application we were able to deliver features faster and to high quality. The test suite that Mike built resulted in the application delivering value to the business quicker. Mike is a strong technical leader. He has firmly-held technical opinions but makes sure that everyone on the team has a voice. I observed him spending time mentoring junior developers so that they were soon able to make a significant contribution to the team. Mike is able to explain technical matters in a way that make it easy for non-technical people to understand. He is comfortable dealing with business stakeholders. He listens carefully to the requirements, asks incisive questions and is often able to offer suggestions to improve the approach. Mike was a pleasure to work with and, in many ways, was a kindred spirit. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again. If you are looking for a strong technical lead then I would humbly suggest that you won't go wrong with Mike." and "I worked with Mike for a year in a development team building an Enterprise solution for Aberdeen Standard Investments. Mike was the Technical lead for the team responsible for building the solution and determining the technical standards that the team should follow during the implementation. It is down to Mike's excellent technical knowledge and leadership that has enabled the team to complete 33 releases to Production since the start of the project. Mike has set very high standards that has translated into a robust and successful Enterprise Solution that is now serving the business world-wide. He is an excellent leader that is willing to listen to conflicting ideas and make the most suitable and informed decision based on his extensive experience. It would be a pleasure to work with him again someday."
