Daniel Scheufler is a Principal Consultant with experience in ECommerce, TeleMedicine, and of course Oil and Gas. As an Electrical Engineer turned Software Developer, He prides himself on highly disciplined development leading to more effective products and processes. He is a problem-solver at heart and leverages this strength in applying industrial theory to the challenges of software development. Among the key challenges facing development is the communication gap. So Daniel has taken to blogging, public speaking, and consulting to help bridge the gap and demystify the technology our world depends on. When not engaged in tackling the gap, or coding, you'll find Daniel playing with his five children, reading, or tinkering whether in the woodshop or in a computer.

Cracking the Team Dynamics Code
You've probably heard the story of that mystical team with dynamics so great that they blew all expectations of productivity out of the water. You want to believe it but it seems so impossible that it sounds more like an infomercial - "... buy in the next 5 minutes and you'll also get fewer defects and greater productivity! Just pay shipping and handling.". But in all seriousness, why are those dynamics so hard to come by? Is it really possible? What's the trick?
Well, I'm here to tell you it is possible, and, not only that, it's realistic for your team! It'll just take longer than you'd like. Nothing changes overnight, and Rome wasn't built in a day. Let's Crack the Team Dynamics Code! Join this talk as we discuss the building blocks of team culture, and how you can begin to intentionally use them to strengthen your team!
Borrow the Expert’s Best: 3 Software Patterns You Need to Know!
Ever wondered how experts simplify their code and make it more adaptable? Design Patterns are the secret sauce! By borrowing from the expert's toolkit, you'll gain insights into programming approaches that open new possibilities in your own code. Even learning just three of the most common patterns can pay huge dividends! Join the session to explore these powerful patterns and elevate your software engineering skills to the next level!
Liberate Your Retro
Adapt and Inspect are pillars of agility. But if no one talks during your retro, you can't adapt. If your team only reports sunshine and rainbows, you can't grow. What if changing your format could help your team deeply engage with the process again?
Liberating Structures are a set of meeting formats and collaboration tools which can do just that! They introduce tiny shifts in the way we meet, plan, decide and relate to one another. They put the innovative power once reserved for experts only in hands of everyone.
Helping your Waterfall flow Faster
A perfect world _might_ be agile. But what do you do with reality? What can you do against the immense inertia of a well-worn Waterfall Culture? Platitudes aren't enough! Failed agile transformations are proof of that. The change must be deeper. It must be actions. But who can do this?!
You can. In fact, if you see the need, you are in the single best position to make the change! You can demonstrate or derive the principles of agility right before their very eyes! It isn't an easy road, but let me show you how you can start! Are you willing to try?
Code is Read
What separates the highly-skilled developer from the one fresh out of college? Why is it that some developer's code is far easier to maintain and others are nearly impossible to decipher? Both boil down fundamentally to whether you can easily understand the ideas and intent conveyed in their code. So what makes for easily understood code?
There are some communication principles we can apply to our code to make it cheaper to change, and faster to understand. After all Code is read more often than it is written. It ought to be easy to read!
