Title: The story of a Tester and a Developer

Facilitator: Janco Wolmarans & Oz Chihwayi

Originally from Zimbabwe, with working experience in a few African countries, Oz currently works as a software tester at Dariel Solutions. He believes thinking is his strongest skill in his bag of many and varied tricks. With over 15 years of experience, mainly in financial systems, he is focused on solving the right problems, the right way. A co-organiser of the Joburg Software Testers meetup, Oz loves to interact, learn and grow with the community. He enjoys a good coffee, especially with developers and other non testers alike.

Janco has spent nearly two decades learning how NOT to build software. He likes to understand the driving principles behind the way developers think, work, and design code. Through technical workshops, code retreats, and other community events, he works to help raise the level of craftsmanship in the South African developer community. He's a proud member of the Driven Alliance team, working with a bunch of talented people.
