Mark Barnes is a business-driven, value orientated, technology geek.

He has worked in a variety of roles, in a variety of companies, in multiple continents.  His roles have covered the entire Customer Value chain from Customer to Delivery.  He has advised, implemented and delivered as necessary to meet the customer's needs.  He has worked in companies ranging from small agile shops, startups through to global investment banks or software companies.

His passion is making computers work for humans, rather than the other way round.  He views technology as a tool, rather than a master and is constantly expanding his toolchest to be ready and armed for the next technology battle.  He blogs occasionally and left facebook years ago when it went mainstream and fluffy.  His current day job is finding ways to exploit virtualisation and cloud for faster, better delivery.

His views are often unconventional, even confrontational or just bizarre.  He welcomes feedback and will gladly share opinions if solicited (and occasionally when not).

His motto is:

Think Differently, Why Not?
