ABOUT
Me
Hi there! my name is Marie and I currently work as a Developer Advocate at k6.io, a Grafana Labs company. Previously, I have been a Quality Engineering Manager at Zoopla where I'm responsible for driving continuous testing and quality improvements within the organisation. I was also a Principal Test Automation Engineer at News UK within the Product Platforms team where I was responsible for setting up the overall QA strategy and ensuring that we deliver a high quality product to our end users.
In the past, I have also worked as a Test Automation Consultant having worked with different clients from different industries to help them speed up their testing cycles.
I am also an accessibility advocate and an online course instructor at Ministry of Testing and Test Automation University.
I started writing last November 2019 as I wanted to become more active in the testing community and share my knowledge. I try my best to amplify my voice in the hope that I can inspire other women to do the same.
When I'm not working and writing, I like to read, watch netflix, listen to podcasts, do photography and look after my 5 year old daughter, who sometimes attends (or sings) my meetups.
