Just got podcasted

A little self promotion :-) Back in September last year, Einar Ingebrigtsen interviewed me about Agile, CI and other stuff I’ve been working on at Contiki. You can check out the podcast here: http://www.ingebrigtsen.info/post/2009/01/15/3cAgile-talk-with-Jon-Aril-Tc3b8rresdal-3e.aspx

Thanks Einar for doing this. Was very strange hearing myself talk. Don’t think I’ve done that since elementary school :-)

Thanks to you for being my first "victim". I think it turned out pretty good. The feedback I've gotten thus far has been good (except for the poor soundquality - which kinda sucked - sometimes more expensive equipment is just plain and simply better).

No problem :) Maybe I should start podcasting too so I can pay you back ;-)

I noticed the sound quality as well, but I didn't really think of it as a problem. Maybe one solution could be to run it through a filter to remove background noise, but I don't really know what I'm talking about :-)

about me!

Hi, I'm Jon Arild Tørresdal. I’m an Architect for the Norwegian insurance company Frende Forsikring, chapter Lead of Norwegian .Net User Group (NNUG) in Bergen and .NET editor for InfoQ. I've been coding professionally since 1998 and on .NET since 1999. I'm an early adapter always looking for new ways to put technology to use for the company I work for, at NNUG or just as an excuse to do some coding at home.

I’m a great fan of Agile practices like XP, Scrum, Kanban and Lean. My first experience with Agile was in 2006, when I introduced Scrum to CMA Contiki (my former employer), which was a great success. Later I found the lack of engineering practices in Scrum pulled me closer to Extreme Programming. I’m constantly trying to motivate developers, testers and other agile team members to adapt the Agile way of thinking to improve the overall quality of software delivery. My motivation for studying these practices is to constantly improve the way I and others work in my organization; both by having fun and adding value to our customers.

I’m also a speaker, focusing on engineering practices (clean code), Agile and best practices (often represented in forms of patterns). At work I often find myself doing presentations on technologies we're about to adapt or how to improve our agile process.

Except from work I am married to my beautiful wife, Gry Helene and we live together with our son Jesper. I love good food and wine, especially red wine from northern Italy. I'm trying to start a collection without any great luck so far :-)

Hope you enjoy my blog!
