About Chris

Motivated Analyst with seven years of testing experience. Recognised for assessing operational needs and developing solutions to save costs, improve revenues, and drive customer satisfaction. Resourceful and well-organised. I am looking to be able to take on more responsibility, help maintain a high standard of quality control and take on new challenges.


My Git Hub Page

I use GitHub a lot more private than public, I am looking to expand my public code more in the future.

My Azure Projects

I work with azure a lot and decided to learn more about it by running my code and projects against it. I am running through FastAPi with Pluralsight and have started using DevOps to manage my learning.
