Transitioning to Agile v2 9

Tarun and I worked together at Experian and again at MIMOS for a

Ministry of Health project. He is super awesome, helpful and

knowledgeable about multiple subjects from software engineering and

design to history. He is always seeking and thinking about how to

simplify complex solutions - perhaps this is the rarest quality of all."
