Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Farmer is a Senior Test Engineer with nine years’ experience delivering robust manual and automated testing across large-scale transformations and high-stakes public-sector services. He has led test strategy and automation for complex migrations—most notably a platform move handling ~10 million customers at Sky Betting & Gaming—and built first-of-kind automated solutions for games and prize mechanics. Comfortable across Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, GitHub Actions and Jenkins, he mentors less technical QAs and collaborates with DevOps to embed reliable release pipelines. His background includes critical work on UK government revenue systems and contributions to HMRC’s email-renderer templates, showing attention to both backend integration and customer-facing messaging. Based in Leeds, he pairs pragmatic engineering with domain knowledge from public services to gaming, often translating regulatory or product constraints into testable, production-ready solutions.
