Quality Coach @ Abode of Quality
I’m a Quality Coach & Tester who helps teams build better products by understanding the relationship between quality & software testing.
I’ve been testing since 2002 starting with video games on PS2, Xbox & PC. It may not sound like a real job but it’s the truth!
By day I’m a Senior Expert Quality Engineer at a health tech company. By night I run Abode of Quality. Here is one of my core values:
“The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude (& how you’re thinking) about the problem.”
– Captain Jack Sparrow (the part in brackets was my addition though!)
I believe that quality & testing problems are actually people problems in disguise! Often the cause of these problems is misaligned goals, different perspectives, low empathy for colleagues, and the list goes on.
Using my coaching skills in the quality and testing space, I believe the most effective way to serve the business is to help teams and individuals gain new perspectives about themselves and their teammates.
I also present at and host conferences, deliver training workshops about coaching and testing, blog, and co-host a podcast.
