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.
If you’re enjoying the insights shared here on the blog, you might enjoy my training too.
“Technical Agile Coaching with the Samman Method” offers a practical guide to improving how developers collaborate and write code. You’ll learn hands-on techniques for Test-Driven Development, Refactoring, and effective team coaching.
