About the Author

Eli delivers software and technology solutions for a living. His roles have included lone developer, accidental DBA, team lead, and even unintentional Solaris consultant once. With experience in adhoc, Lean, and Agile environments across NSF grants, SaaS products, and in-house IT groups, he is just as willing to chat about the principles of Lean or Continuous Delivery as he is to dive into Azure, SQL Server, or the last ATDD project he created.
