Dave Harrison

I’m a Senior Application Development Manager (ADM) working for Microsoft Premier. As a development lead and project manager, I’ve spearheaded cultural revolutions in several large retail and insurance organizations making the leap to Agile and Continuous Delivery. I'm an enthusiastic promoter of Azure DevOps, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Docker, and all other tools – but I believe very firmly that, as with Agile, the exact tool selected is less important than having the people and processes in place and ready.

On a personal note, I’m the proud father of two beautiful girls and have been married to my lovely wife Jennifer for 24 years, and am based out of Portland, Oregon, USA. I enjoy fishing, reading history books, and in my spare time often wonder if I should be doing more around the house versus goofing off.
