I'm a software tester who specialises in created automated test solutions.

So if you need a Selenium framework to check that your webapp is still functioning after a feature gets addded. Or a way to check you mobile app hasn't broke after a new version is created. I can help.

I can also help in testing of an entire webapp and create an end-to-end strategy. That incorperates automation alongside traditional 'manual' techniques.

Re:Ask HN: Programmers, Does it makes sense to write a tech blog? on Sunday November 17, 2019 @05:35AM (#21557338)

I'm a freelance software tester and blog about software testing. I'm building an audience slowly so I would definitely recommend doing it.

I think people are more receptive to working with you if they can see you know what you're talking about. http://kevintuck.co.uk
