Hi Everyone! I am looking forward to my first AYE Conference. I have been wanting to attend for several years, ever since I heard about the conference from Esther Derby. I am looking forward to spending the week with some great minds.

I am employed by Engenio - parent company LSI Logic - we are the external storage systems division. I am a Six Sigma Software Black Belt. Mainly I work on cross-functional project teams. My favorite projects have been Voice of the Customer, leading Project Retrospectives and redesigning our engineering organization. I have a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering so I like to look at things from a systems perspective.

On the personal side, I am married with 2 wonderful daughters. The oldest is a teenager. I like to read and help our youngest daughter with her piano lessons.

Hi, Sheila. Your name has proved a challenge to the wiki rules. Good for you! I think it's the first time I've seen a name with two consecutive capital letters (no apostrophe) [except for my friend, III, who doesn't use wikis anyway].

But best of all, your industrial engineering background will challenge all of us at AYE. In my experience, over the years, I've learned more about process from industrial engineers than all the software methodologists put together (not that they could exist if put together). - JerryWeinberg 2005.11.03
