Steve Bockman is an independent software developer who began his career in 1977 in a utility position, installing software packages for a manufacturer of business computers. Since then he has worked in the fields of speech recognition, terrain analysis, computer graphics, desktop publishing, industrial automation and web applications.
Steve’s first exposure to anything Agile occurred around 2000, when a co-worker suggested that they try pair programming. He liked what he saw, but didn’t get involved again until 2005, while participating in a development effort in which changing requirements were part of the ground rules. He has been happily exploring Agile techniques ever since.
