I’m a Senior Test Analyst and Test Lead with over 14 years’ experience across financial services, housing, utilities, and commercial sectors. I’ve spent much of my career at the centre of complex Microsoft D365 (F&O and CE) transformations, where my job has always been as much about working well with people, developers, business stakeholders, consultants and offshore teams as it has been about the testing itself. I take pride in being the kind of tester who keeps things moving—someone who can cut through ambiguity, rally a team around a shared goal, and still deliver clean, thorough test coverage under real pressure. I’ve led test teams through demanding go-lives, and I know how to keep quality high without losing sight of what the business actually needs.
