About Timothy

9 years of experience in functional analysis, customer proxy work, and testing.

I am someone who draws energy from clarifying complex issues and bringing people together around workable solutions. In teams, I naturally take on a connecting role: listening, structuring, challenging where necessary, and ensuring that business and IT truly understand each other.

I enjoy working closely with development teams, with a strong agile mindset and a particular affinity for complex domains such as payroll, social legislation, the public sector, and regulated contexts.
