MEET OUR SPEAKER
Kody Carling
My name is Kody Carling. The first thing I want you to know about me is I married my high school sweetheart. We have been married for 18 years, and she definitely is my best friend, and my most loved critic. Most of the time she tells me I need to do better in the most loving way possible, and I love her for that. Together, we have 4 wonderful daughters all under the age of 12! Our lives are crazy! Even though my skin shell is male, I am a feminist at heart! I want my daughters to grow up and have the courage and determination to be what they want to be in life.
I have over 15 years' experience in the software industry. I have 12 years of software testing experience. I have been writing automation tests in Python for over 5 years. I love Python, and I love Selenium!
