ABOUT ROSIE HAMILTON

I have worked within software teams since 2005. I shifted from testing to coding and development, including building web apps and APIs. I hold a Professional Certificate in Computer Science and Mobile Applications from HarvardX. I currently work primarily with Go.I consider myself to be a professional learner and constantly push myself outside of my comfort zone. I enjoy pairing, working collaboratively and helping others learn. I am active in encouraging diversity in the tech community through public speaking and engagement. For example, in 2018 I was invited to speak at three large software testing conferences (Test Bash Brighton, Test Bash Dublin and Nordic Testing Days in Estonia). I am a regular speaker at tech meet-ups and I also helped to run the Newcastle Ministry of Testing meetup prior to moving to Manchester.I am an open, responsive and passionate team player. A considerate and compassionate coder viewing software development as a craft where interactions with people matter and communication skills are required for success. In my spare time I enjoy Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and computer games (both playing and creating).
