After finishing my Masters in Software Engineering at Melb Uni, I kickstarted my career as a mobile engineer. After working on some leading mobile apps in Australia for 5 years, I decided to learn how to build things the right way, which led me into the Test Automation world.

I also have an affinity to share my experience with the wider community. I’ve spoken in a variety of conferences across the globe. Testbash Liverpool, DDD Melbourne, Saucelabs’ SauceCon are some of them.

Latest obsession… unified observability at scale! (while also managing cost 😅)
