–About me–
A lot of knowledge is lost when designing and building software — lost because of hand-overs in a telephone game, confusing communication by not having a shared language, discussing complexity without visualisation, hassle that comes from conflict by not leveraging the full potential and wisdom of the diversity of the people. That lost knowledge while creating software impacts the sustainability, quality and value of the software product.
As an independent software consultant, tech lead, and software architect, Kenny Baas-Schwegler steps in to tackle this issue through sociotechnical system design. By facilitating collaborative modelling and applying Domain-Driven Design and Deep Democracy, he catalyses organisations, teams, and groups of people to design and build sustainable software systems. He explains his approach in the co-authored book ‘Collaborative Software Design: How to Facilitate Domain Modelling Decisions’.
One of Kenny’s main value-based heuristics is sharing knowledge. You can see that in action at his blog on baasie.com, curating the Leanpub book “Visual Collaboration Tool”. Being an active figure in the Domain-Driven Design community, organising events for Virtual Domain-Driven Design (virtualddd.com) and Domain Driven Design Nederland. Additionally, he routinely shares his experiences at conferences and meetups through informative talks and workshops.
