Come learn some simple steps and tools you can use to improve your next whiteboarding interview, whether you are taking or giving one!
If you missed this presentation or want to review it again, Daniel has made his materials available on github: Repo for ‘Towards a better Whiteboard Interview’.
Daniel Scheufler is a Principal Consultant at Improving with experience in ECommerce, TeleMedicine, and of course Oil and Gas. As an Electrical Engineer turned Software Developer, He prides himself on highly disciplined development leading to more effective products and processes. He is a problem-solver at heart and leverages this strength in applying industrial theory to the challenges of software development. Of late, Daniel has honed my focus on Leadership in Software Development, and on the communication aspect of his work. Everything rises and falls on Leadership. Communication is a key part of that skill set.
So Daniel has taken to blogging, public speaking, and consulting to help bridge the gap and demystify the technology our world depends on. When not engaged in tackling the gap, or coding, you’ll find Daniel playing with his three children, reading, or tinkering whether in the woodshop or in a computer.
