ABOUT ANITA SQUIRES
In 2018, I made the decision to change careers and pursue software development. After completing an intensive 16-week bootcamp at CodeClan in early 2019, I discovered a passion for software testing—and that’s where my journey began.I started out as a Software Tester at Nucleus Financial, gaining hands-on experience with Cucumber, Selenium, and JavaScript, while building on my skills through self-directed learning. My background as a PMO Analyst in retail and wealth management banking gave me strong foundations in communication, risk awareness, and agile practices.Currently, I work as an Automated Tester at CGI, where I’ve supported clients including Specsavers, BSI, and SQA. I’ve transitioned from traditional tools to more modern frameworks like Playwright using the Object-Action-Assertion (OAA) model, and expanded my tech stack to include Python, Azure, Fabric, and Databricks. A recent tech-for-good project also gave me valuable exposure to mobile app development.I’m particularly passionate about community, inclusion, and sharing real-world experiences in tech. Over the past year, I’ve been speaking at events about my journey and the importance of representation for women in the industry. I\'m keen to build on this and expand my speaking experience. You can find more on my Sessionize profile.I always enjoy connecting with others in tech—whether it’s to share ideas, collaborate on projects, or just swap stories. Feel free to reach out!
