About Me #

I’m a prin­ci­pal en­gi­neer at Skyscanner in London. Tech-wise, I’m in­ter­ested in vir­tu­ally every­thing but have par­tic­u­lar in­ter­ests in:

• Software qual­ity and au­to­mated test­ing
• On the server side, Java and NodeJS
• Linux, Docker, and au­to­mated con­fig­u­ra­tion man­age­ment
• iOS de­vel­op­ment
• Agile prin­ci­ples and the age-old chal­lenge of how to make soft­ware de­vel­op­ment suck slightly less

Open source #

I have a hand­ful of small pro­jects on GitHub, but spend the ma­jor­ity of my fo­cus on Testcontainers, a Docker-based tool to aid in­te­grated test­ing in Java. I cre­ated Testcontainers a few years ago, and con­tinue to work on it along with some other ex­cel­lent con­trib­u­tors.

It’s be­come mod­er­ately pop­u­lar, and has sprung forks in a num­ber of other lan­guages.
