Hello, I'm Simon. Since 2003 I've had various roles in testing, tech leadership and coaching. I believe in the power of collaboration, creativity and community.
A Quality coach & mentor for almost 9 years in software testing with diverse cultural and industries exposure, who is obsessed with one simple question - "How will end users find our product?!"
I’m a QA Analyst with an award-winning e-commerce agency, mainly working on the BigCommerce platform. Having graduated from a Software Developer Bootcamp just before the pandemic, I had never tested, before I secured my first role and was tasked with learning how to test from scratch. I now cover manual exploratory testing and test automation with Cypress, Gerkin and Cucumber.
