My Aim
On a professional front I aim to continue developing my experience and knowledge in my IT career progression, specialising in Test,
Quality Assurance and Project Management, to share my knowledge and experiences.
Everything I do I aim to perform to the best of my ability, which I
hope is reflected in both my professional and personal life and interests.
I am also a great believer in freely sharing useful information to all
interested parties, as long as there is no infringement of any copyright laws.
Personal Profile
I was born in 1964 in a town called Hebburn, Tyne & Wear
in the North East of
England. I moved down to the South East of England in 1982 due to
the lack of employment opportunities in the North East, where I started life as
a trainee computer operator. I am married to
Julie and we have 2 children, Rebecca and Charlotte.
I am an experienced professional senior Software Test Management Consultant dealing with many various aspects of IT.
I initially came from a technical background and have been dealing with QA Software Testing and Test Management for Software
developments since around 1995. I also hold the
respected BCS ISEB Certificate in Software Testing and PRINCE2 for Project
Management, which reflects my commitment to developing my management skills in the software testing
and management arena. I have also been accredited with ISO 9001:2008 QA
Certification.
I am also a Martial Arts expert and Instructor, holding various
levels of black belt in various Japanese Martial Arts. I also
hold the world record for smashing 1000 concrete roofing tiles (100 stacks
with 10 tiles per stack) with just one hand in 1 minute and
23 seconds. I have held this record since I established it in
1991, although some other martial art expert has attempted to beat it back
in
2000, but failed. I have a number of black belt instructors under me who have a big hand in teaching
both the existing club members as well as the newer students of the club.
I founded the Uckfield Martial Arts club back in 1985 and it is still going
strong, albeit I have stepped aside from its day-to-day running these days.
Having gained my PPL(H) for flying helicopters I am now taking up the
classical guitar. I always like learning new skills.
