I am a software test engineer from the UK, though have worked in Germany, New Zealand and Australia. Test automation is my favourite part of being a tester, as it gives me an opportunity to flex my coding skills and pick up new tools.
On a more personal note, I am an avid guitar player, having played in the London Video Game Orchestra and recently built my own guitar from scratch! I also have a 3D-printing side business; visit Fusion Creations for more info.

During my time in New Zealand I worked for the Electoral Commission doing data entry. This was a tedious manual process of inputting the data from handwritten forms into a database. I built a tool using the Google Vision API to read the handwritten forms and inject the data into the database. This improved form processing time by ~10x.
The project I was working on in Roam was a product called Backr. We wanted to display some key metrics to the team in a visually appealing way to motivate us and show our impact. I used the Google Maps API to pull sign-up data from our analytics platform and plotted it on a map of Australia, showing where each new user was signing up from every day.
I created an NPM package that downloads the latest versions of your apps from Microsoft App Center. It checks if you have an apps folder and if not, creates one. It then finds your app based on the title that you passed through to the function and checks if you have the most recent version downloaded. If not, then it downloads it for you!
"Rhys is an incredible performer; he fully applies himself to problems and never stops until he solves the problem no matter how complex."

"Rhys came in and immediately started improving things! We were in the middle of trying to change how we engage with QA in the team and he had some great suggestions right from the start."
Senior QA - Roam
"He constantly pushed himself beyond what is expected of him in the role. When two senior QAs left, he responded in the most positive way possible: taking charge of QA and testing in the team and making himself available as the go-to person in his project team."
