Hi, I’m Gio

I’m on a mission to help developers with testing and automation, so they can get more done with more confidence.

  • I live in Melbourne, Australia
  • I work for iflix the video streaming service for emerging markets. I look after the backbone and CI of the iOS app.
  • I blog about testing and automation at mokacoding.com, although it’s sort of on hold now. I also run xcodetips.com and theiostimes.com.

This is my 3rd CQC. I plan to do it on an old Ruby on Rails backend that I’m maintaining.

I’m super excited to learn new tricks and techniques with you all.
