Gary McGhee’s Summary

Broad and deep experience in many areas of software development - from a video editing system to kiosk multimedia to 3D games to an eye surgery design application to embedded train announcement systems to Web 2.0 applications.

I enjoy finding lateral solutions to customer problems using existing and new technologies and practices.

At three seperate companies I have set up the team development tools and processes, including version control, requirements management, automated testing and build processes.

My current focus is my new business Buzzware Solutions - focused on assisting small businesses into the online arena, and streamlining software development teams to achieve their best using Scrum and Agile techniques.
