Ordnance Survey was founded in 1783 and was embarking on a digital transformation journey. I was initially brought in as a specialist contractor to address all non-functional requirements, which led to a new team being formed. My responsibility was to ensure that the developers were building secure systems and testers were able to run web attacks to find vulnerabilities and have easy analysis. I was able to fulfill this and had key successes in this role including:• Deployed and sourced an Enterprise security program• Run automated dynamic application security scans overnight• Produce detailed dashboard with threat levels

I was brought in as a specialist contractor to work on the Mobile Internet Programme at Vodafone. My responsibilities, working on Adserver and Mobile TV programs, included ensuring that all testing deliverables were completed and handed in to the overall program for launch. Key achievements in this assignment were• Introducing early requirements review ensuring static bugs were captured and fixed before deployment• Compiling and delivering risk-based testing methodology, saving 30% in test cycles

I was initially brought in as a Test Analyst into what was then One2One, and later got acquired by T-Mobile, which in turn is now Everything Everywhere (EE). Based on my performance and how I conducted myself across the business I was promoted to team leader within 6 months, running a team of 5 people. I was responsible for all non-functional aspects of the performance of our pre-pay platforms from technical architecture to performance monitoring and automation. My responsibility then extended to also becoming responsible for strategic partner platforms (for MVNO providers like Virgin Mobile). Towards the latter part of my tenure, I was also given responsibility for the Amdocs deployment (code name Excalibur) for managing post-pay customers. The following are key notable achievements during the various roles held:• Introduced methodologies and built in-house automation tools to improve quality, reduce time and rework• Encouraged root cause analysis, and enabling developers to learn and improve through peer-to-peer reviews, etc to significantly reduce the number of defects• I won over the trust of the development teams to work with us to improve software quality and turned an adversarial relationship into a collaborative, high productivity environment• Jointly worked on concurrent charging as a concept, overcoming issues of single-band charging• Introduced Mercury Interactive WinRunner, driving great automation and repeatability – increasing quality and reducing defects and downtime• Won an internal award for vendor management for the Amdocs deploymentsee less
