Background

About Chas S.

Fire jumper. Path finder. Untangler. Got problems? I solve problems!Organizations bring me in to overcome their software delivery challenges. I institutionalize the principles of flow, feedback and continuous improvement. Nowadays, that's called DevOps. I specialize in the strategies and tactics of the end-game of delivering web systems and software. Depending on the situation, this may mean giving clear direction to the team, articulating what the business wants to the technical folk or translating the engineering trade-offs into plain English for the business owners. It may mean changing the tools mix, adding (or dismantling) some infrastructure, tweaking the architecture, beefing up program/project management, automating deployment, enhancing configuration management, institutionalizing performance engineering, testing, technical documentation or devising operational or go-live plans. It's often a combination.With over 30 years in software development and delivery, I know which levers to press to get the machine moving and how to keep it humming. Let's roll up our sleeves together and get it done!As a DevOp, I automate everything. As an engineer, I solve problems. Quickly. Thoroughly. Permanently. Joyfully. As a leader, I inspire and create trust. I may be just what you need!It's your software. Delivered.Specialties: Clarity. Simplicity. Results. Getting things done on time, on budget, on quality.
