Hi, I am Steve Shogren!
I am a developer and manager who has met needs in the financial, education, and publishing industries. I grow self-organizing teams and empower them to achieve tremendous business value.
My Philosophy
Strategic
Self-Organizing Teams
When carefully mentored, a self-organizing team accomplishes the most business value.
Servant Leadership
Empowering and trusting your team increases intrinsic motivation, engagement, and productivity.
Measurable Business Value
Tracking business goals ensures the highest value work is accomplished first.
Growth Mindset
Everyone and everything can be improved. Nothing is sacred.
Deliberate Software
Disciplined practice prevents common mistakes.
Sharpest Tools
Allowing teams to choose the best tools produces the most value.
Tactical
Pair Programming
No other practice improves the whole team like pair programming. Prevents skill gaps and knowledge silos.
Automated Testing
REPL-driven development, unit testing, and test-driven development enable rapid crafting of high-quality systems.
Continuous Integration
Scaling your team is only possible with accountability, and CI is an excellent way to ensure accountability.
