I am a Senior Automation Engineer at the Guardian. I worked originally as a manual tester, before moving into Automation and more general Development across the media, marketing and finance industries, and am a regular contributor to the Guardian developer blog. I have a passion for pushing the conceptions of what a Tester can be, and what Testing and Quality teams can deliver to wider software development, beyond conventional test practices.
