Hi. I'm Joey Guerra. I'm an ex UT pole vaulter (1994 SWC, 1993 OK Indoor) and
Aerospace Engineering graduate. Worked at Johnson Space Center (JSC/NASA) doing
thermal analysis on EVA tools and certifying Space Station hardware for space
flight. I taught myself how to code and transitioned to the internet industry
just in time for the .com bubble to burst. I went through a 5 year
transformation from learning Perl, how the internet works, UNIX, and website
design to getting my first job writing code for another company.

My professional journey includes working at a startup telecommunications
company, building a prisoner management system, legal case management software,
and a video chat system for an internet dating startup; as well as working on
enterprise systems for a couple of well known retail companies.

After decades internalizing how to do Agile Software Development, I was hired at
ThoughtWorks. My time there will always hold a special place in my heart. It was
short, but validating. I met others who thought and felt like I do. There I saw
true diversity. It was the perfect place for me at that time. I improved my
self-motivation and leadership skills. I got more comfortable in my own skin and
my own personality. In short, I got to know myself better.

Now I'm at Kaizen.io, solving problems with my witty personality, insatiable
curiosity and courage to ask difficult questions. As of 2022, I've enabled small
teams to create tens of thousands of Purchase Orders (retail company), advised
executives whether or not to continue capital investment on a poor performing
product, and coached teams to deliver results. I know how to scale agile
software development - you'll be surprised, and probably underwhelmed, when I
tell you how I do it.

Ask me about leadership, change management, agility, the MVC design pattern,
Test Driven Development, Pair and Mob Programming, building empowered teams and
DevOps if you want to spark up a lively conversation.

This is my personal site. It's a playground I use to explore my own opinions and
they are very dynamic. Please keep it in mind as you read through. I hope this
site makes you happy.
