Leader of multiple teams tasked with developing a test and support capability to improve the quality within the Ocado Smart Platform Fulfilment product-line. The fulfilment solution represents the control systems and user interfaces responsible for guiding operatives who work alongside the robotic elements of a warehouse. Typical operations performed, to name a few, are those such as decanting, picking, and dispatching of both stock and customer orders.In order to allow development teams to work as effectively as possible, our department generates data around software solutions such as the current known risk of deployment, to allow the business to make informed decisions. To realise this, we develop both a sophisticated, in-silico representation of customer warehouses along with related tests, processes and coaching of teams. We provide the understanding of the quality of the products created across as much of the software stack as possible using clear, understandable, data-driven approaches. This clarity is provided, along with pragmatic solutions, that align with the business direction.
