Social Proof from Paul Neumeyer

I had the pleasure to work with Martin at SSW. He was an extremely capable professional who picked up new technology with ease and joined project teams quickly and with passion. The depth of his knowledge and his work ethic made him a "go to" person in our organisation soon after he started. Martin showed particular knowledge and interest in ALM and contributed significantly to the improvement of ALM rules and procedures while at SSW. He made those practices available not only internally, but also made them available to the IT community in his blog, where they were widely read and positively received. Martin also advanced the SSW engineering practices through his involvement with the Visual Studio ALM Rangers and his work within SSW during our introduction of Scrum as our primary development planning and tracking methodology. Martin's skills and passion showed in this area too as our solution at SSW for tracking the Sprint and Product backlogs is based on TFS. He also completed the Scrum Developer Trainer course and became accredited with Microsoft and Scrum.org, flying out to Sydney from his home in Scotland to complete the intensive 5 day course. I would recommend Martin to any employer who has the good fortune to be in the position to offer Martin a role in their organisation.
