SYNOPSIS

Do you build tools for other engineers inside your company, rather than an external client?

There’s a lot of books out there on engineering and product with a focus on making a success in the open market, but not enough for building internally.

Let’s change that.

I’ll show you how building tools for internally meaningfully differs, what tools and toys you might want to build to make your life easier, and how to ensure your success for years to come.

SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY

Gary is an engineering manager, software crafter, and systems thinker. His main hobby is to try and help companies to build better software in better ways.

Sometimes this is by helping them with the messy human communication side of agile, sometimes its helping them reflect on their processes, and sometimes it's through teaching better software crafting practices - usually some of each.

Coaching, mentoring, teaching, and showing; whatever helps in the context. You'll find him at various local meetups and international conferences trying to both share what he knows and learn from his peers.

Our events are for adults aged 16 years and over.
