Back to 2015-speakers
Bio:
Mike is a developer and tech lead at Red Gate. He has been a software engineer for 13 years, working in C++, Java, and more recently C# (he's overly-fond of curly braces). In recent years, and especially since joining Red Gate in 2011, he's been inspired by the Agile and Software Craftsmanship movements to explore ways to help software teams work together more effectively.
He's participated in sprint retrospectives every couple of weeks and led several. He's experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly of retrospective facilitation (you'll have to ask the team which category his 'Barry White Retro' fell into). He co-presented on the subject of retrospectives at the Agile 2014 conference in Orlando.
