[edit] Me

I am a founder of Zutubi, makers of the Pulse continuous integration server.

[edit] Environments

Pulse is primarily Java, so that is where I spend my time these days. Previously I have worked in various languages, most notably C (Linux device drivers and accompanying SDK) and C++ (virtual machine). I was lucky enough to be exposed to an environment with automated testing with builds on checkin from the start of my professional career.

[edit] Topics

My interest in CITCON is from both ends: as a vendor and as a developer always looking to improve out own processes. Topics of interest to me include:

  • What sucks about CI? That is, how does it cost you time or effort that it shouldn't, or how isn't it saving you effort that it could?
  • The role of SCMs in CI, and how next generation SCMs can influence and/or advance CI.
  • How different are the skills required for a great QA engineer as opposed to a great developer?
  • Testing and prototyping.
