Olivier Costa |
| Olivier is working as a software developer for more than 10 years. When he learned about agile software development (6 years ago), he found a lot of common ground with his training at the Academy of Inner Arts (dutch site). He found that to be able to really be effective, you need a state of mind that can be created through the aikido & yoga training. When realizing this, he actively started to combine his study of agile practices and principles with the aikido practices and principles. He now wants to share this combined knowledge by integrating in teams that would like to become more effective and humane | |
