Experience

Where the bugs have been found so far.

Test Engineer

2018 – 2026
Kialo.com ↗ & Kialo-edu.com ↗ · Berlin

Application testing and TestCafe automation for an online discussion and debate platform, and for Kialo Edu — its EdTech version built for classrooms, with features for teachers and LMS integrations.

  • Planned and ran risk-based functional, integration, regression and end-to-end testing across new features and production fixes
  • Built, reviewed and maintained automated TestCafe tests to grow repeatable regression coverage
  • Turned requirements and risks into test approaches, cases and test data, with coverage and evidence to match
  • Worked with developers, Product Owners and BAs on priorities, release checks and readiness calls
  • Triaged critical issues, coordinated fixes and confirmed them through targeted retesting

Test Analyst

2017 – 2018
Landsberry & James ↗ · Sydney

Testing across several concurrent client projects.

  • Balanced testing activities and competing priorities across multiple projects
  • Wrote new test cases and kept existing ones current as applications changed
  • Documented build, testing and deployment procedures for consistent releases

Test Lead / Software Tester

2010 – 2016
Immersive Technologies ↗ · Perth

Commercial mining equipment simulators — think very large trucks, very expensive to crash in real life.

  • Contributed to eight releases supporting more than 50 simulated machines and operating scenarios
  • Led release teams of two to six developers through system testing and defect resolution
  • Prepared test plans and cases from requirements and coordinated coverage across iterations
  • Ran manual system, integration and regression testing, logging reproducible issues in Jira
  • Wrote feature documentation for customers, internal teams and testing reference

Projects

What I build when nobody's asked me to test anything.

Solo Clocktower

JavaScript
Play it at solobotc.com ↗ · github.com/grrarrgh/solobotc ↗

A dependency-free, single-player browser version of the social deduction game Blood on the Clocktower. You play on the good team; every other seat is an NPC and the game runs the Storyteller.

  • NPCs hold private conversations, make claims and share info — and some of them lie, good players included
  • Full day/night cycle with night actions, nominations and voting
  • Seeded games, so a run can be replayed — handy when you're the one hunting the bugs
