Nick Boucart’s Summary

My current focus is on helping Belgian software intensive product builders overcoming their software engineering challenges.
My team and I do this by conducting industry driven research, punctual interventions every now and then and a lot of focused contacts with companies. Besides this, I play a lot with social media and web2.0 stuff and experiment with how those new paradigms, services and tools can actually help take software engineering to a higher level.

Nick Boucart’s Specialties:

My specialties lay in the area of agile software development, software testing and test automation, Scrum and XP. I did a lot of programming in python, ruby on rails and java, and still use these skills to do prototyping.
