Bio
Greg Langmead
Neil consistently exceeds my expectations. He keeps focus on the big-picture needs, based on an understanding of users and the product, and then walks it back from there. He performs extra checks and tool-building as needed. His follow-up questions have a high probability of being something I never thought about but should have. He adds a tremendous amount of value.
Raphael D.
Neil and I have worked in the same QA Localization team for several months. He is open minded, forthcoming and always available when someone needs help. Neil has an inherent sense of organization and analytical mind. He is great at finding solutions to problems and is very thorough in his work. He is a great co-worker, easy to get along with, friendly with a great sens of (British) humour! I would recommend him for any position requiring analytical skills, team work and QA testing experience.
