Hi – I´m Emily!
I am an independent consultant with Bache Consulting and chair of the Samman Technical Coaching Society. As a technical coach I work with software development organizations who want to get better at the technical practices needed to be agile, including Test-Driven Development, Refactoring and Incremental Design. I live in Gothenburg, Sweden, although I am originally from the UK. I’ve written two books: “Technical Agile Coaching with the Samman method” and “The Coding Dojo Handbook”. I teach for both O’Reilly and Pluralsight. I’m married to Geoff Bache, creator of TextTest. I am also on Mastodon as emilybache@sw-development-is.social.
If you’d like to know a bit more about me, my work, and the talks and workshops I offer, please visit my main website: EmilyBache.com. There, you’ll find information about my background, upcoming events, and the services I provide as a technical coach and consultant. It’s a good place to start if you’re curious about how I can support your team in improving coding skills and agile practices.
