Lead Automation Engineer
I've been involved in testing for the last fifteen years or so including being a test manager and hands on testing, but currently focusing on developing test automation for Glofox. When I can I like to get involved in the community (COVID 19 permitting!) and have ran the Belfast Selenium Meetup for a number of years.
