Hi. I'm Scott Bellware.

I'm a software professional with 25 years of industry experience. I've been hands-on in virtually every role in a software organization from developer, to QA, to product manager, to CTO. I'm as comfortable in leadership roles as I am in front of a code editor, and I support and consult to my customers at every level.

My approach to software is steeped in lean methodologies and kaizen. I address software productivity problems fundamentally as software design and software process problems that get in the way of making progress. I have considerable experience in software testing as well as software design, architecture, and process, as well as team culture and organization. I consider the teaching of software principles as a critical responsibility and a key way for teams to breach the impediments and limits that they're facing. Continuity is everything. I'm an asker of hard questions and a pursuer of root causes.

I'm a contributor to the Eventide toolkit for event-sourced autonomous services, and a champion and advocate for open source.

I'm based in Austin, TX.
