Reputation for an uncompromising commitment to product quality and exceeding expectations; mentor and coach who inspires teams by example.A consummate QA Leader, if you will; capable of adapting and excelling in any software development process. My tenure with each of my employers demonstrates I have the knowledge, dedication, and resolve to succeed in my craft. I have a reputation for exceeding expectations; a mentor and coach who inspires teams by example. This, coupled with loyalty, passion and drive, make me an ideal employee.My forte is Leading and Improving Quality; be it as a Manager, Lead or Individual Contributor. I strive to implement processes that fit a Company’s goals. As such, I believe a QA model exists for everyone. There is no “one size fits all” model. Every Company decides what is most important to them; time to market; level of Quality and/or implementation cost. The process can be modified to meet these needs and produce the best Quality product. Along the way, I recognized one common theme; one must always walk before they can run. Without understanding and employing the basics; one cannot sustain more complicated solutions through evolution. There are no shortcuts; unless you don’t mind building up technical debt. That debt will almost always cost you in the end.
