Instructor
I have been testing mobile apps for more than 8 years now. I've started testing Android from the 1st device, G1, and have worked with Blackberry, Palm, Windows mobile and of course the latest popular devices on Android, iOS and Windows phone. I've led the team of testers and developers and now am testing a complicated client-server dating app with hundreds of millions of users.
