Matt Wynne

Matt was lucky enough to start programming in the mid 1980s when his dad brought home a BBC Micro from work.

In 2008 he joined the fledgeling Cucumber open source project, and in 2011 the first edition of The Cucumber Book, co-written with Aslak Hellesøy, the creator of Cucumber, was published.

In 2013 he founded Cucumber Limited together with Aslak and Julien Biezmans. They trained thousands of people around the world in Cucumber and Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD), adding Seb Rose, Steve Tooke and Dr. Sal Freudenberg as partners.

Matt developed the practice of Example Mapping whilst training a team in St. Louis, Missouri.

In 2019 Cucumber was acquired by SmartBear and Matt now works as full-time lead of the Cucumber Open source project. He's currently focussed on finding ways to tackle the structural sexism and racism in open source.
