I'm an independent consultant who specialises in helping organisations bridge the knowledge gap between software development and business strategy. I've been building data-driven web applications since the 1990s; I've managed teams, taught workshops, and worked on everything from tiny standalone websites to complex distributed systems. I'm a Microsoft MVP, and I regularly speak at conferences and user groups all over the world.

I'm the creator of the Rockstar programming language, and I perform software-themed parodies of classic rock songs with Dylan Beattie and the Linebreakers. I'm online at dylanbeattie.net and on Twitter as @dylanbeattie.
