Ito's QA Hall of Fame

Being at Ito for 7 years, the team has been on a fantastic journey and I wanted to acknowledge and remember everyone that had been a part of that. So just thought I'd share a screen clip of our QA Confluence home page where I set up a "QA Hall of Fame". Any events that involved QA that we had pictures for I've added them here so we can acknowledge and give respect to each person who moved us forward on our journey - whether they're still with us or moved on.
I periodically check in with those that have left just to make sure they're OK.

He/Him
Head of Engineering who came from QE. Admirer of all humans (with a special affinity for testers). I love to bring out the best in people and help them grow. I have a very tactical view of delivery and love working to find the sweet spot so that processes are a balance between effort and value. Music nut.
