Rhodes Brown, Ph.D.

I am a software design and development professional with a passion for mobilizing teams to discover new, meaningful information by applying advanced computing techniques. I have worked on a wide range of problems, although I am most interested in applications relating to language analysis and scientific computing. A strategic planner by nature, my recent focus has been the systematic growth and development of Agile software teams. Realizing that I am able to accomplish more by building and empowering teams, I have channelled my experience as a researcher and educator into a leadership approach that centers on collaboration, reflection, and skill development. Driven by my own enthusiasm for learning, and a personal commitment to enhance the profession of computing, I am dedicated to helping progressive organizations build engaged, talented, and sustainable software development operations. Specialties: strategic planning, learning strategies, reflective practice, self-managing teams, Agile software development, Java technology, software efficiency, object-oriented software design, concurrent programming patterns.
