To me, quality is rooted in collaboration and customer empathy. It's about getting it right with the end-user in mind. It’s the art of sweating the small stuff so the big stuff runs smoothly. Whether we’re exploring or executing, quality means building repeatable, focused, and controlled systems, frameworks and processes that ensure the software we release isn’t just functional, but exceptional. image

<div>I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the welcome, encouragement and support you've given me over the past few months. Last week I started a short term Accessibility test contract and that will be followed by the role I was offered earlier today. If I can pay even a fraction of that value back through getting involved with MoT events it'll be my absolute pleasure. Thank you for being the awesome welcoming community you are.</div> image
