Aslak Hellesoy started his programming career in 1998. Since then he has been a CTO, book author, entrepreneur and trainer, but he always returns to what he loves - programming. Aslak is constantly reminded about miscommunication between business and IT, and in 2008 he created Cucumber and started promoting Behaviour-Driven Development. His programming passion is to be "in the zone", with all distracting obstacles removed.
