Senior🎓
Top SchoolKen Talbot is a Test Lead with 10 years' experience shaping quality practices across finance, defence and travel tech, currently driving testing, risk analysis and an expanding AWS estate at MONY Group. He blends hands-on full-stack testing (VueJS, Java/Spring, microservices) with people leadership—mentoring testers, running workshops and growing a company-wide quality community.

Beyond day-to-day QA he champions accessible design and cyber security, and writes about gaming in his spare time—an unusual creative outlet that sharpens his user-focused perspective.
