Quality Engineering ExecutiveEmail@: DaronTech@gmail.com I'm passionate about quality and with over three decades in software test engineering and quality assurance, I've honed a strategic approach to revitalize software development, ensuring alignment with business goals. Recent achievements include a proactive quality engineering model that stems from the implementation of advanced test automation and custom tools, bolstering our capability to deliver continuous service improvements with higher quality.Core Competencies• Passion for Quality• Process Improvement• Global Quality Engineering / Quality Assurance• Enterprise Quality Engineering Strategies and Roadmaps• Performance Engineering• End-to-End Testing• Customer Communication• Customer/User Acceptance Testing• Global Team Quality Transformation• Digital Transformation• Test Automation• Operational Excellence• Test Data ManagementAccomplishments• Transformed the Quality Assurance team of 280+ members (Full Time and Contractors) into a proactive Quality Engineering force that employs test automation and other agile practices to shift left and improve processes throughout the development lifecycle. The shift reduced the post-implementation defects by over 60% and increased test automation to 90% while simultaneously increasing system stability.• Planned and executed the quality engineering for several long-term transformation projects. The objectives of these projects were to build and certify cloud-native and lift-and-shift applications that utilize a data fabric as their single source of data. At the center of the initiatives were Mainframe, AS/400, multiple data centers, and stand-alone data repositories.• Conceived and implemented a Testing Center of Excellence (TCoE), thereby driving savings of over $400K and avoiding over $900K in labor costs.Contact me at DaronTech@gmail.com for any executive quality engineering opportunities.
