John Denholm

Co-Founder, Director

With over 20 years in operations, DevOps and dev, John has focussed on operating software and understanding how to build software that’s good to operate. As a technical leader, he has seen how choices across a business impact the quality and speed of software delivery. He brings experience of outcomes of software practices and how false economies during development play out in total cost of ownership. He understands how to make choices up front that impact software usability, either by yourself or your customers, and how to incorporate non-functional requirements into your teams’ ways of working. Furthermore, he is experienced at the end of the dev lifecycle, and on creating your own definition of done.
