Patterns came from Christoper Alexander's famous "A Pattern Language". Those early patterns had humans and our interactions at the heart of them. In the world of patterns in software delivery – with the notable exception of DDD – we've taken way too long to realise the importance of anthro-centrality. This talk will take us on a lightning-quick tour of pattern history and show how the balance might finally be shifting back to we humans.

A highly enthusiastic, self-starting and responsible Tech Principal; Andrew specialises in Java / JVM technologies, agile delivery, build tools and automation, and domain driven design.
Experienced across the software development lifecycle and in many sectors including government, banking, and eCommerce, what motivates him is the production of large-scale software solutions, fulfilling complex client requirements. He understands that people, tooling, architecture and process all have key roles to play in achieving this.
Andrew has a passion for open source software and its communities. He has been interested in and involved with OSS to a greater or lesser extent since his career began; as a user, contributor, expert group member, or paid advocate.

Finally, Andrew enjoys sharing his experience as much as possible. This sharing is not only seen in his formal consulting engagements, but also informally through mentoring, blog posts, conferences (speaking and organising), and open sourcing his code.
