What's the simplest guardrail you've used that had the biggest impact?

Hello, I'm Simon. Since 2003 I've had various roles in testing, tech leadership and coaching. I believe in the power of collaboration, creativity and community. 🎓 MoT-STEC qualified. I get real joy working with and supporting our wonderful MoTaverse community.

“Thanks for making me feel so confident about myself.” | “I'm so grateful for all you do in the MoTaverse community, I learn so much as a result!” | “A simple chat with Simon in person absolutely changed everything.” | “Simon is one of the best people that I've ever met to have conversations with. He's so grounded in his way of thinking and articulates his thoughts so well and his feelings and his knowledge about community and everything.”

I've been testing for 20+ years with experience in Exploratory Testing and tools such as CI/CD, Bruno and Postman. I'm a self-taught pianist and enjoy writing and recording my own music.

I live in West Yorkshire and love to learn about pretty much anything that has the potential to improve my life.
