In the realm of education and public speaking, I worked for many years as a Lead Instructor with the Association for Software Testing, teaching their Black Box Software Testing (BBST) courses. My most recent work has been with upskilling professionals, delivering comprehensive training in C# programming, automated testing through industry-standard frameworks, and cutting-edge tools like Microsoft Playwright. My influence extends to the global tech conference circuit, where I am a sought-after speaker, sharing insights on emerging trends and practices, especially around the topics of Accessibility and Inclusive Design.
