Contextive is inspired by Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles, particularly focusing on the ubiquitous language aspect. Chris explains how miscommunication between developers and users can lead to issues in software projects, and how Contextive aims to mitigate this by documenting domain terminology.

About the speakers

About the speakers

Chris Simon

Empowering technology teams to drive business success.

Through public speaking, coaching, advisory & training, I support startups and scaleups through the focused lens of driving business outcomes with technology investment. Leveraging decades of experience as a co-founding CTO in two successful startups, I work with boards, non-technical founders, technical leadership & their teams.

In my coaching work, I support CTOs and technology leaders on their journey, touching on growth areas such as people leadership, culture, engineering, architecture, process & business strategy.

I also provide advisory consulting to help non-technical founders, boards and executives manage technology risk, and engineering teams with the agile delivery of high quality software.

To help build the foundational skills that underlie business success, I train engineering teams in technical practices such as Test-Driven Development, Continuous Delivery and Domain-Driven Design.

I regularly speak at meetups and conferences on topics such as technical leadership & Domain-Driven Design and founded the Domain-Driven Design Australia meetup.
