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.

Originally from Portugal but call Manchester UK my home. I love meeting people, hosting friends and family, snowboarding, food, binge-watching sci-fi TV shows, photography, my son and life itself!

I started breaking software everywhere, and people said, "Good job!" I said, "Stop, you're making me blush... okay, carry on." Now, I'm still testing things I shouldn't—like a rebel without a cause.
