Readme

If we have not yet had the opportunity to connect, this “Readme” can serve as a basic introduction to how I operate. I look forward to connecting with you.

Professional Values

My perspectives are continually evolving as I come across new experiences and new data. That said, I have consistently come to value the following (style inspired by the Manifesto for Agile Software Development):

  • Unique journeys over standard patterns of execution
  • The right questions over the right answers
  • Data over theory
  • Lean communication over thorough communication
  • Focus and fit over breadth
  • Evolutionary systems over up-front systems design

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, I have come to value the items on the left more.
