We invited the Sage Accessibility Team to run their Accessibility Empathy Lab at Ministry of Test Newcastle, we had various workstations where attendees could gain a greater understanding on the impacts of various disablities when using and navigating computer software

Senior Test Engineer
I've been involved in the world of quality and testing for almost 30 years with a great passion for people and the sharing of ideas and knowledge. My biggest achievement is developing and running a 'Testing Tales' group that invites internal and external speakers to present sessions to our Internal Test Community with attendees running between 60 and 100 from around the world. Outside of testing I love my two dogs, motorsports, travel and getting out to shows and gigs.
