About
Kevin Thompson
I am a physicist-turned-software engineer and ScrumMaster. I received my doctorate in Physics from Princeton University, spent several years doing astrophysics research at NASA Ames Research Center, then moved into the world of commercial software. I've written software in several languages, including Fortran, C, Smalltalk, Object Pascal, and Java.
I became interested in agile processes in 2007, while managing Web application and data-warehouse projects. I quickly converted to Scrum as the clear method of choice, and have never looked back.
I've since moved on from the full-time ScrumMaster role into Scrum training and consulting, which I find tremendously rewarding.
My "TLAs" (Three Letter Acronyms) include
PhD (in Physics)
CSM (Certified ScrumMaster)
CSP (Certified Scrum Practitioner)
PMP (PMI Project Management Professional)
PMI-ACP (PMI Agile Certified Practitioner)
