About
I enjoy helping software engineering teams own their quality engineering practices. From CI/CD pipelines to performance testing. Available for contracting, training and coaching.
I've presented and keynoted at tech conferences all over the world. Mostly presenting on quality engineering practices and mental health/career growth. Hosted live pair testing sessions on youtube.
I’m comfortable with k6, Gatlin and Jmetre as performance testing tools. I worked on systems that have used AWS, Azure and google cloud services. I’ve also built and maintained test environments, their data and their build pipelines.
I’ve worked with Java, c#, typescript and node backends. I have a learning mindset and can pick up any new backend technology quickly. I’ve worked with mobile apps too.
I’m NOT a web developer/automator. I can automate web UI but prefer not to.
Quality software is easier to sell, maintain and enhance. It's cheaper to build quality in compared to adding it later. My specialties are mobile app development and micro service architecture.

Community is one of my core values and I'm active in the tech scene. I've worked with startups, high tech companies, government and big finance corporations over a 10 year tech career. Currently studying financial advice and working on a ecommerce platform.

A group of previously extinct individuals got together for the first time at GovHackTas in 2013. We developed a website in two days where you can see the Storm Water system feeding directly into the Derwent River. The main data source was provided by the Glenorchy City Council. You can also monitor your own environment for pollution and share it on our website.
You can check out our blog here at http://tiger.scriptforge.org/blog/
Update: We managed to get 3 awards for our efforts,…A group of previously extinct individuals got together for the first time at GovHackTas in 2013.
