What are the top mobile testing tools for ensuring the quality of your software applications?
https://appetize.io is a useful tool for teams who have mostly manual testers and where you don’t want manual testers building from source or using TestFlight. It allows for the apps to be submitted in a pipeline then the testers to use their web browser. It uses a simulator / emulator but that can help in speed.

What are the best practices for testing mobile apps in different lighting conditions?
You suggest to perform manual and automated testing but no actions the reader could take. If you are aware of best practices for automated testing light levels, maybe with smart lighting and a camera feed to check for contrast might be an example of how they could perform automated testing. Links to resources or other examples of actions the user can take would allow this article to be more than just a 2 minute read.

Education
This was a one year project to teach year five and six students 2/3 of their RE curriculum in a fun and interactive way. This project was an interactive walkthrough of six rooms, each teaching the children a different part of their curriculum. With only a budget of £8,500 provided by Knowsley Housing Trust and £2,000 provided from Church Army UK, ingenious ways of building the whole project were needed.

Children's and Youth worker
Kidz Klub & TNT
- 4 years 11 months
Kidz Klub runs every Thursday from 5:15 pm - 6:15 pm and is a club for children from Reception to Year 6. TNT runs straight after starting at 7:15 pm to 8:45 pm. Both clubs are for the children of the Page Moss estate in Liverpool. The aim is to help the families of Page Moss in anyway we can. My role goes beyond the hours on a Thursday evening because it is a community project and we are always the first point of call for help by the community.

Environment
I was part of a team that joined up with Coca-Cola to promote recycling in music festivals across the UK. At many festivals we ran a 'swap for swag' shop where festival goes could bring their empty plastic bottles and we would exchange them for t-shirts, tents and loads more goods.
My role was to organise the volunteers that we would take to each festival and then on the day help them where they can, sort out their shifts on the shop and make sure they were enjoying their volunteering…I was part of a team that joined up with Coca-Cola to promote recycling in music festivals across the UK.
