  QA Test Analyst

  As part of the Professional Services Banking QA Team I have learned how various self-service devices used by financial institutions work. I have worked as part of a team, and have also lead my own team. I have enjoyed the challenge of manual testing on devices such as ATMs, and I have had valuable experience of liasing with client representatives to deliver the best possible product. The high quality of my work at Diebold Nixdorf prompted my Project Manager to nominate me for a Consultant of the Month award with FDM. Show less
