Biography

Passionate about creating great software. User Experience advocate. Agile fanatic. Testing bigot. Lean Startup convert.

Adrian spends most of his time creating web applications - helping with everything from user experience work to writing code. Unsurprisingly he's a huge fan of cross-disciplinary agile teams. Adrian spends too much time on the agile-usability and IxDA mailing lists, as well as moderating the Agile Usability & STC Usability and User Experience SIG mailing lists.

He's been working on the cusp between development and UX work in the commercial web world since 1996. Before that he was a member of the Socio-Cognitive Technology Research Group at Sussex University and helped out with the Human Centred Computing Systems MSc.
