William Hill
I currently work in an agile team on a Java/Oracle API with a Node front end in a fully automatedtest environment. I’ve helped migrate from Citrus to a new Java 11 framework which utilizes Gradle,Fluentlenium and Swagger. The framework has been integrated into a Gitlab CI pipeline executed incustom built lightweight docker containers. The solution uses an in house live reporting tool usingKotlin/Angular/MongoDB which I helped build, including plugins for every major testing framework.I’ve recently become one of the lead experts in AWS/Terraform as part of an ongoing project tomigrate all systems commercial and test into the cloud. I’ve been responsible for writing a buildpipeline to move all systems to a micro-service oriented solution using ECS Fargate, DocumentDBand RDS.

TomTom Sports
I joined TomTom in July 2017 in their consumer sports division. The environment consisted of an embedded linux solution (sports watch), iOS/Android applications, a web front end and set of web services. My job was to create a new test automation framework capable of verifying end to end functionality. To do this I set up a test environment of multiple Raspberry Pis each hooked up to watches phones, cnotrolled by a Java/Appium/Cucumber maven project run via Jenkins. Unfortunately the role only lasted 5 months due to the closure of the sports department.

Fujitsu
After graduation, I joined Fujitsu, the second oldest IT company in the world, as a test an analyst. I worked for a year on the post office account, one of their biggest retail accounts, creating test plans and performing manual tests in a live test environment. The environment consisted of Java based EPOSS, unix and windows systems and Oracle databases After a year I moved into the newly formed rail account working on a mobile ticketing platform. I was quickly promoted into the senior test lead role in charge of 10 test analysts. This work involved writing test documentation, coordinating testing efforts across the team, defect triaging and ensuring that we have maximum test coverage. During this time I was frequently sent to customer sites to act as a lead liason with the company, managing customer expectations and facilitating changes euring roll out. Part of my role included the creation from scratch of a test automation framework, written in Xamarin Test UI, with which I managed to achieve a 60% total test coverage. This was despite automation complications such as bluetooth devices (pinpad and printers). Due to my work on mobile test automation, I was able to create a new service line for Fujitsu, as an automation consultant. My role included analysing external companies' current test coverage and writing an automation framework for them which utilised Xamarin Test Cloud to test their mobile applications on hundreds of unique physical devices.

Industrial Placement
For the third year of my degree, in 2012, I took a placement at GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals. They had recently invested in a complete global SAP environment to replace all the fragmented environments they were left with through various mergers and acquisitions. I was part of the SAP Basis administration team, which is a third line support team responsible for the overall maintenance of the environment, as well as diagnosis of more serious underlying issues. This was my first taste of business technologies and I learnt a great deal from the experience.
