Tall. Likes brass bands. Over twenty years as a tester, so you'd think I'd know what I was doing by now. Co-organiser of NottsTest.

I am a colourful tester based in beautiful North Wales. I fell into testing around 5 years ago and I've never looked back. I love the blend of logic and creativity required. I love to make sketchnotes of the talks I listen to within the testing community as a way of bringing some colour into testing. I love the human aspect of testing. In particular I love reading about psychology and working to understand how people use software. I'm currently the sole tester in my company and experimenting with some aspects of quality coaching has allowed me to have a bigger impact on quality than testing alone.

QA Lead at Cogapp, a web agency for museums & archives. I lead test strategy, write tests, and co-organize codebar Brighton where we run coding workshops for underrepresented groups.
