About

Title: Team Lead

Geoff Burns

 

A Software Developer for 28 years. Currently based in Melbourne, Australia. My main experience is with the Swift, C#, F#, JavaScript, C++, Objective C & Python languages, building mobile, web & rich client applications on iOS, Web, Windows, & Unix platforms.

I have acted as an Agile Coach leading two successful agile transformations, one in an ISO9001 certified company. I have introduced Agile Practices from XP, Scrum and Kanban to multiple companies and improved the development processed in others.

I have served as source of innovation introducing, Unit Testing, Continuous Integration, frequent retrospectives, Value Stream Mapping and Kanban boards, software development process metrics. I have encouraged continuous learning by introducing brown bag lunches, training workshops and coding standard workshops.

I always start the team where they are and keep them solving issues with their process rather than accepting things as they are. I always focus on what is causing the most pain for the team, pushing forward with continuous improvement.
