About

A bit about me…

Ade Miller is currently the Development Manager for Microsoft’s patterns & practices group (p&p) where he manages several agile teams. His primary interests are parallel computing and in improving the way people develop software. He is current writing a book on design patterns for parallel programming. Ade also speaks about his experiences with agile. Prior to leading the p&p development team Ade lead the development of the p&p Web Services Software Factory: Modeling Edition. Before joining p&p he was a developer and then a Development Lead on Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005 and 2008.

Prior to joining Microsoft Ade worked on a variety of interesting projects including a web start-up, embedded languages, and High Performance Computing (HPC).  Ade is a regular speaker and also blogs and writes about his experiences. Ade received his BSc and PhD in Physics from the University of Southampton, UK.

That’s probably more than you really needed to know but if not you can always read my resume (which is slightly out of date) and list of current publications.

A bit about this blog…

I originally started this blog on Windows Live as a journal of my adventures in agile software development. Since then it’s grown to cover some of the more interesting aspects of agile which I have first hand experiences in; distributed teams and large teams.

I still occasionally write code so there’s also a lot of posts on that, including some of the weird things I’ve been doing with parallel code, scientific or technical computing. You can’t talk about the same thing all the time so the same blog now covers some of the hardware I’ve built or bought and some experiments in Green (low power) computing.
