Matthew has been testing software for 7 years, starting as a video games tester and is currently a Test Team Lead. Having graduated in Computer Games Technology, he originally wanted to become a developer but quickly discovered a deep passion for testing. His career has followed the trend of the software industry, going from testing a long distance away from developers and code to pairing with developers and helping them test as they write code. Along the way he has gained a great variety of experience testing telephony exchanges, analytics systems, websites, video games (including motion controls, 3DTVs, augmented reality) and mobile apps.

Through this background in computer science and his experience as a tester, Matthew is keen to help breakdown technical subjects and jargon for testers and expand their arsenal of test techniques!
