I co-host the Testing Peers podcast (100+ episodes), speak at conferences including BCS SIGIST, and co-organise PeersCon, an annual testing conference. My leadership style blends technical depth with mentorship, collaboration, and a drive to continuously improve.Let’s connect if you’re passionate about testing, leadership, or building inclusive, high-impact engineering teams.
