“I had the pleasure of working alongside Callum during our time at Improbable, where we collaborated on some of the company's most significant projects. Callum's expertise in Exploratory Testing added immense value to our team. What made our partnership truly special was the seamless blend of productivity and enjoyment—we tackled challenges with enthusiasm and learned from each other along the way. Beyond our time at Improbable, Callum and I have continued to stay connected, frequently exchanging insights and bouncing ideas off each other. His dedication to staying abreast of industry trends and his willingness to share knowledge make him an invaluable resource. I genuinely look forward to the possibility of working alongside Callum again in the future. Any team would be fortunate to have him onboard.”
