Personal Details

Bio

I'm an experienced technology leader, with significant experience in mobile and e-commerce, gained while leading software development, testing and delivery groups.

I am also a regular international conference speaker and trainer, having delivered talks and workshops on a variety of different topics over the last 5 years, including software delivery, quality, testing, mobile and organisational design. I have also written for a number of online and printed magazines on software quality and agile methodologies as well as co-presenting a podcast on software quality.

I have setup and led groups of between 10 and 60 permanent and outsourced staff, with budgets of up to €2M per year, including all group design, recruitment, strategic drive and performance management.

My detailed hands on experience with agile methodologies and cross team agile coaching includes leading the change to, and rollout of, the testing, quality assurance and continuous integration activities of a 60 person software quality group that transitioned from waterfall methodologies. I also organise a regular agile and lean meet-up group in London.

My specialities include:

E-commerce and mobile technology leadership

Software development, testing and delivery

Continuous integration

Agile methodologies including Scrum and KanBan

Agile coaching

People management

Change management and organisational design

Up and Away - Moving Into Software Management

A personal story of how moving from a traditional testing career to taking ownership for the whole software development process has influenced my views on testing. This includes how a testing career is invaluable when building and running teams who operate with quality at their heart and why we need to look outside of our own community in order to drive testing forward.

How I Lost My Job As a Test Manager

This presentation aims to present a view of test management that I think fits with the software development methodologies, and team structures that we typically see in IT today. It will use my personal experiences to explain why I think discipline based management is no longer relevant or required, and how Test Managers need to adapt to the new world of cross-functional, agile teams.

Testing Your Emotions

Testing is an emotional subject. It raised emotions within us as testers, and also other within the projects in which we work. In this talk I explore the situations that projects teams typically encounter and how these impact the emotions that everyone in the team faces. I also discuss typical dimensional models of emotion such as those proposed by Robert Plutchik and Hugo Lövheim.

Mobile Testing, That's Just a Smaller Screen, Right?

We are increasingly moving towards mobile devices to fulfil our day-to-day computing needs. More mobiles are sold than PCs but many people are unclear on what changes to test strategies are needed when working with mobile.

This presentation gives an overview of mobile testing, explains some of the common mistakes made when starting to test mobile, and gives hints and tips for further study.
