I am a Staff Platform Engineer currently in FinTech. I architect Test Automation, CI, Metrics, and Testability solutions with Platform Engineering, Dev Efficiency, Quality, and Infrastructure Engineers. I've also worked as a Senior Engineering Director, Product Manager, Sales Engineer, Enterprise Consultant, and Developer supporting the clinical trial support, testing tools, and enterprise content management industries. I’m probably best known as the former President of the Association for Software Testing (AST), and for speaking about and organizing workshops about performance and reliability testing (WOPR - the Workshop on Performance and Reliability). I've spoken at CAST, TestBash, Agile, DevOpsDays Austin, Jenkins World, STARWEST, Oredev, Nordic Testing Days, Yerevan Testing Days, CodeFest, STPCon, PNSQC, Romanian Testing Conference, WOPR, and STiFS. As a leader, I have managed distributed teams with up to 50 managers, testers, and offshore contributors, and served on leadership teams for departments of 180 people. I continue to work with executives and senior leadership teams to understand, engage with, and solve organizational-level challenges. I have many continuing mentoring relationships I value very highly. As an individual contributor, I have worked on CI/CD, test automation, coverage, reporting, and performance, scalability, and reliability testing of software systems in development and deployment contexts. I've shipped code in several different contexts and languages, but focus more on architecture and design these days. As a product owner, I was responsible for set of software testing products with $18M in annual revenue, including P/L, marketing strategy, and owning the roadmap/prioritizing the backlog. My experiences have given me a broad background in the business and engineering of creating, testing, selling, deploying, implementing, and operating software. I have led non-profit testing organizations, write and speak about software testing, and work on testing conference programs and mentorship. I’ve contributed to ISO standards on trusted systems and archiving. I study software development methodologies and closely follow developments.
