James has been working on commercial software since the late 1990s, when TDD was something you studied but never did, pipelines were something that carried oil and Agile and Lean were words used to describe gymnasts.

In 2015 he started life as a consultant and worked with a variety of clients trying to effect real organisational change by focusing on code quality, culture, a belief in outcomes over processes and a drive for continuous improvement.
