MARTIN FOWLER

I grew up in Walsall, England, going to Queen Mary's Grammar School. I went to University College London from 1983-6 where I got a BSc (ENG) in Electronic Engineering and Computer Science. After graduating I stayed in London working for a while at Coopers & Lybrand, and a small tech company called Ptech, before becoming an independent consultant in 1991. I moved to Massachusetts in 1994 continuing as an independent consultant until I joined Thoughtworks in 2000. I became an American citizen in 2005 (I retain my UK citizenship as well)... I am an employee of Thoughtworks drawing a salary and holding equity in the company. I do have a voice in our business direction, but I don't have a significant day-to-day participation in it.
