Leading Software Maniacs (LSM) is a small creative, tech-savvy consultancy located in the Pacific Northwest (USA).

We perform project leadership consulting, software development workshops, executive mentoring, technical editing, graphic design/book layout, and cross-platform app development.

Leading Software Maniacs

OK.The truth is that Leading Software Maniacs is really me: Ken Whitaker. Making a living in commercial software development for over 40 years made a LOT of sense. Having an academic background in both mathematics and fine arts, I enjoy doing a variety of creative projects. I can switch between app development, technical editing, designing graphics, and agile project management. What seems like “bobble head” task switching, just plain works for me! (I can’t exactly explain why.) Oh yeah, I earned a RISING TALENT status on Upwork for my freelancing contract work.

We Write books!

Ken Whitaker has written books on agile project leadership, graphics, and publishing—with most not self-published. This means that publishers were convinced that the content is worth taking the risk promoting something from a “enlightened Southerner.” (I don’t git it, either.)
