Dawn Griffiths has over 20 years experience working in the IT industry, working as a senior developer and senior software architect.

David Griffiths is an Agile coach and software developer. He began programming at age 12 when he saw a documentary on the work of Seymour Papert, and when he was 15, he wrote an implementation of Papert's computer language LOGO.
