I help Senior Software Engineers & Tech Leads move from zero TDD experience to TDD Expert so they can develop software more safely and faster at work.
I also help Engineering Managers help their teams adopt TDD.
We help Software Engineers, Tech Leads, Software Architects, and Engineering Managers to build Maintainable Software using:
Test Driven Development (TDD)
Hexagonal Architecture (HA)
Clean Architecture (CA)

Monthly video calls to answer your questions
Monthly calls:
Duration: There will be a 1hr session on Google Meet. This session is once a month.
Slots: I will provide you with a calendar so you can choose a time that works for you. My calendar may include some slots between 10:00 - 16:30 CET. Please note that the sessions are shared, so you and other Founding Members may join.
Agenda: During the session, you can ask me any questions, we can discuss any topics, and you can screen share your personal GitHub projects.
Please do NOT:
Do NOT share your company source code. If you want to screenshare your company source code, then a CTO / Engineering Director / Engineering Manager would need to book a call with me to discuss team coaching. During team coaching, the developers screenshare proprietary source code and apply the TDD transformation.
I spent years studying TDD by reading books from Kent Beck and Uncle Bob, studying Hexagonal Architecture from Alistair Cockburn, studying Clean Architecture from Uncle Bob, studying Microservices Architecture & Testing Microservices from Chris Richardson, and studying Acceptance Testing and Continuous Delivery from Dave Farley.
It was hard applying it all in practice. It took years of trial and error, mistakes, and challenges. I was stuck. There were so many unanswered questions.
I’m now writing the TDD Guide that I wish I had to guide me in applying TDD in real-life projects. It would been such a massive time saver. I want to share it with you so you don’t have to spend years learning TDD.
