Technical Program Manager
Austin, TX
Jay is a Technical Program Manager at Care.com. He has been in software development for over 17 years. Early, he realized that it was very difficult to create high-quality software quickly. Seven years ago he found Kanban and has been hooked ever since. He has implemented Kanban for 7+ years at several different companies such as IBM, eBay, startups, and large private companies such as DrillingInfo.
His open source application, LeanSheets, has had a direct impact on the adoption of Kanban across organizations showing what can be learned from lead time data. The data and visualization has helped Jay lead the Kanban transformation at DrillingInfo in all levels of the company. He is a leading Kanban expert in the Austin area, enjoys talking about Kanban and the value it can bring from the team level through the executive level across an entire organization.
