Who

Conrad Benham

As a graduate Conrad joined the IT industry in Melbourne Australia, in January 2001. Joining ThoughtWorks in August 2004, Conrad has worked on a number of Agile software projects as a developer in Brisbane, China and Sydney. His career with ThoughtWorks so far has given him considerable Agile/Extreme Programming experience in the banking, finance, superannuation and gaming industries.

Conrad moved to Hong Kong at the beginning of December 2007. As a Technical Lead Conrad’s goal is to pair with his colleagues to iteratively introduce Hong Kong to Agile software development practices.

Conrad is passionate about developing simple, well factored and tested code. Though rare, he has occasionally been confused as being an Agile zealot.
