Biography: David Laing
I love to build stuff. Well.
Fundamentally I'm a pragmatist; who gets his kicks from getting software built. I identify and implement whatever will advance a project; with a specific focus on technical skills and practises (TDD, CI, pair programming, clean code).
I'm plugged into most software communities; reading, listening and attending. I filter, focus and introduce techniques & technologies that will benefit my team.
I've recently become a father, and discovered I love being a family man. (Also that I can operate with almost no sleep, but that's another story...)

Join us for this panel of senior enterprise architects, each of whom has met the challenge of the new enterprise web.
