About

I am self-motivated and dynamic person with knowledge in software testing and quality assurance, Agile methodologies, and web development. I have extensive experience using Drupal CMS and WordPress CMS platforms. I started my early career path in the design space, as a Junior Graphic Designer, before completing a 1-year coding course (HTML, CS, JavaScript) at Umuzi Academy, and this is all whilst completing a 3-year diploma at Rosebank College which is where I enhanced I analytical skills. Once my studies were finished I secured a position with Wunderman Thompson as a Webmaster before moving into Software Quality Assurance. My passion and key career strengths lie in the quality test phases of software development, as well as being a bit of a chameleon with a strong creative & technical background. On top of this, I am an excellent communicator – both written and verbal. Although I have done some automation testing in previous role, this is an area I want to get into more over the next 12-months.
