I was a Test Analyst with the Motors group, in a small cross functional agile squad, testing software changes to the iconic NZ [https://www.trademe.co.nz Trade Me] website focussing on the [https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors Motors] page and features.

After my first professional testing role at LeasePlan I was really excited to join the Trade Me motors team as a senior test analyst. Trade Me is a large scale internet organisation, they have a well established test guild and are renowned for their agile implementation. All things I was very keen to learn more about.
