My name is Michael Dwyer and this is Chaordic. My goal is to bring order with technology, particularly software products and platforms.
After 23 years of software development experience from early startups to Fortune 500 companies, I decided to start my own consultancy. I am a programmer at heart. Despite 10+ years of leadership and management, I remain a deep, hands-on, full stack developer. I made a career out of being the rare executive that can hang in the deepest of technology discussions with software engineers and architects. I’ve never allowed myself to get too far away from the code. I’ve found creative ways to be “in the code” even when it wasn’t my primary responsibility.
An incessant reader and lifelong learner, I have a strong sense of all the latest best practices. And yet, I have the practical experience to get past the hype. I love lightweight software development processes, particularly Scrum and Lean. These practices, as with many, are simple on the surface but rarely done well. I’ve probably seen most of the ways practice falls short of theory.
If you’re in south central Missouri, stop into our office at 18462 Main St., Eminence MO. Yes, believe it or not, you can find a word-class software products and platform consultancy in extremely rural Missouri; in Eminence, a town of 600 strong. Of course, this is possible due to the power of the Internet so… no need to stop by our office. Just send us a message. We’d love to see how we can help.
