Russ’ experience covers almost every facet of software delivery having worked across many different domains including Financial Services, Publishing, Defence, Insurance and Search.

With over 18 years experience of consultancy, coaching and training, Russ helps to change all facets of the software delivery process in order to remove unnecessary and costly complexity in everything from developer skills and practices, through applying the right processes for the job at hand, to ensuring that the right change is delivered, be it through software or otherwise.

In recent times Russ has brought the principles of antifragility to software architecture and design, including but not limited to how to implement microservice-based complex systems.

Russ is a passionate open source contributor and has recently created the open source Chaos Toolkit project.

Russ is also an international speaker on techniques for helping software adapt to the ever-present force of change as well as a published author, most recently of “Head First Software Development” from O’Reilly Media. He is lead on the London Microservices User Group and heads-up the new µCon conference. Russ’s current book is being published using the LeanPub platform and is titled “Antifragile Software: Building Adaptable Software with Microservices”.
