Speaker Bio

James is a software tester, currently helping to build world-class Digital Humans at UneeQ.
He’s a big believer in making life better for everyone – by building helpful, easy-to-use software; by helping other testers get better at their craft; or by taking his friends to the pub.
When he’s not doing the above, you can find him drawing pictures, running around in the forest, or playing video games with his wife and son.
