Thanou Thirakul’s Summary

Thanou was introduced to Agile over 9 years ago, and quickly embraced it as a great way to meet clients' needs more easily. More personally, he saw how it could help him become a more productive developer and better communicator. It must have had some effect, as he has since created and facilitates a full-day Agile workshop for all new developers at Intelliware Development Inc. (where he also works as a senior developer).

He is also a regular presenter at the XP Toronto Group's monthly meetings. Currently he's involved with organizing the only major Agile conference in Toronto - Agile Tour '09 Toronto.

Outside of the Agile world, his passions include helping children through the education charity he co-founded--Jai Dee Children's Fund--and helping the environment, as both a High Park steward and as lead for Intelliware's "Green Team."

Thanou Thirakul’s Specialties:

Java, XP (Agile), SWT, EJB, Hibernate, SQL, testing, and eating noodles.

Thanou Thirakul’s Experience

• Developer

  Intelliware

  June 2000 — Present (9 years 7 months)

  I'm a developer, a team lead, a designer, a code rat, a lunch organizer, a social event coordinator, a bug squasher, and more. Where I work, everybody's role changes from moment to moment. At the end of the day, I'm responsible for the success of the project that I'm working on. Everyone else in the same project also shares this responsibility.
