QA Leader + Coach + Engineer

Bitten by the Testing bug 🐞via a 'fell into it' secondment in 2004. I’ve since had a variety of roles and been in ‘Quality’ leadership positions since 2012. Being hands-on is in my DNA, I don’t wish to lead any other way. In recent years I’ve learned test automation development skills alongside the management role and I enjoy coaching interested people embarking on this technical testing journey 💜
