Hello, my name is Emily O'Connor
Hello, my name is Emily!
I’m travelling to TestBash from Leeds (UK) and I’d love to meet and form stronger relationships with others who are senior individual contributors.
I'd love to get to know you: how does your role interact with your organisations engineering teams, what is your career progression story and how you keep upto date with testing trends?
In this video, I introduce the fact that I enjoy reading, and show these books:
- Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture by Kyle Chayka
- Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What Is Human in a World of Machines by Joy Buolamwini
- Why I Write by George Orwell (because I couldn't find Letters to a Young Contrarian by Christopher Hitchens)
