Summary
Richard Atkins is an experienced Application Developer with over two decades of delivering user-centric web solutions and eight years of recent focused experience in application development. He combines hands-on coding with tech-lead, project and line management, having created and trained web and QA teams and thriving in client-facing, remote contract roles. A proponent of iterative Agile and BDD workflows, he prefers environments with strong stakeholder contact and regularly accepts consulting, teaching, and speaking engagements. His background in industrial design and leadership certifications (including Certified Scrum Master and organizational leadership programs) gives him a practical, human-centered approach to product delivery. Equally comfortable guiding delivery as a lead developer or stepping in as a retained consultant, he’s available for new engagements from July. An understated strength is his blend of creative technologist instincts with structured leadership training that smooths the gap between vision and production.
