After 3 weeks of nominations, 6 days of voting we have finally come to the end of the Software Meet-Up Hero and have a winner. The Meet-Up Hero competition aims to recognise those in the testing community who go above and beyond for their fellow testers. We want to acknowledge the people who bring testers together, encourage learning and actively create environments that anyone can learn more about testing.

We are delighted to announce that the 2018 Meet-Up Hero is:

 

Danny Dainton
