David Starr
My name is David Starr, and among other things I am a principal at Elegant Code. I have worked in software development for 17 years or so and held numerous positions including Chief Software Architect and Director of Software Development. In addition, I work with organizations to effectively drive operational change through the adoption of Agile practices.
I am primarily focused on the Microsoft stack and I am a certified Scrum Master and a signatory to the Agile Manifesto. I believe in defect avoidance over defect detection, writing less software, and emergent system design.
I live in Boise, Idaho with my lovely wife and four children, where I spend time being a dad, creating software, practicing camping, and riding motorcycles.
My resume is available here, and I provide training services for Agile software development teams and for Tea System. Please contact support@elegantcode.com for more information.
