Michael Zam, PhD, is founder and CSO at KarmicSoft, Associate Professor at Paris Dauphine University. In 25+ years of object design and implementation, he worked and played more than half in an agile way, combining XP practices and Scrum patterns, with major organizations and first class ISV partners. 

His current obsession: merging design time and runtime activities into a unified high-level cloud-based environment where data, applications and the environment itself co-evolve peacefully in a growing hive. This raises new exciting questions about the evolution of object-oriented concepts, agile methods and human ideas living together in the big virtual washing machine called internet.
