How and Why

Starting in his formative years IT is 2nd nature to Wayne. If we ask Wayne what has allowed him to move around the IT profession helping and managing startups as well as teams of well over 100 developers he would say his repeated ability to stay at the crest of the IT wave.

Wayne tells us that the “world:” In terms of software changes over and over and if you don’t get your mind around life long learning then you’re in the wrong professions.

It’s rare, says Wayne, that I go more than8-12 weeks without finding the next stretch target in terms of software. I don’t try and cover every base but I have an understanding at code level of most if not all of what I ask my developers to do.

And if we ask Wayne Way he has a simple answer… Stretching your ability to help others and achieving real world rests is wha makes life worth living !
