      Jan 2015 - Jan 2018
      Senior Test Analyst

      During my time at Connexity my responsibilities included - developing and maintaining an extensive python based testing suite (functional and system tests) as well as corresponding continuous integration plans using bamboo. System tests utilised docker to establish a testing environment composed of numerous services - selenium was used to automate testing of web services. A DevOps culture was eventually adopted where I often found myself contributing to the development of our many products.
