RobertDempsey: Robert Dempsey, a certified ScrumMaster, has lectured, trained, and provided coaching and consulting to many software developers and small business owners since 2000. As a speaker, he has taught on agile development and Scrum, in addition to Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and JRuby. Robert is the CEO and founder of Atlantic Dominion Solutions (ADS), a web development company in Orlando, Florida. As CEO, Robert transitioned ADS to Scrum from a traditional, IT style of project management. He is the author of four Ruby on Rails articles for the Amazon Web Services Developer Connection and AOL Developer Network, and a technical reviewer for Manning Publications. Before devoting 100% of his time to ADS, Robert spent years honing his management skills by working as a consultant and project manager for IT companies. Soon after focusing on ADS, he implemented Scrum, training the development team in its use. Robert received a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from Rollins College, and an MBA from the Crummer Graduate School of Business.
