Welcome, and thanks for dropping by.
I’m Frank, a software engineer who has worked as a self-employed business analyst, software developer, project manager and management consultant for the past 20 years. I also happen to be autistic.
Lots of stuff appears on this blog – as the Tag Cloud can attest to. The general themes of this blog are:
- Software engineering
- Project management, agile transformations
- Self-employment (freelancing, contracting, consulting)
- Remote working, flexible working, working from home
- Autism, mental health
- Retraining as a therapist / counsellor
- The odd bit of Rock Climbing and Swimming (mid-life hobbies of a software engineer)
