I have had the privilege of leading teams of Software Development and Test Engineers, Release Engineers, and Technical Writers, developing processes and best practices to accurately maintain complex software and content for the leading provider of sales, use, and value-added tax determination software.Managing complex software projects has been a rewarding challenge and my teams have helped produce industry-leading software that exceeds customer expectations.Equally important, I have guided my teams to deliver results which have improved internal operations. For example, I spearheaded the development of improved testing tools and automation which have reduced testing time 25% and resource utilization 33%.For another project, I drove the development of a single content management tool to facilitate data input, standardize research documentation, and integrate with test automation. As a result, I helped eliminate 6,240 person hours annually without compromising quality.I have a passion for continuous process improvement and agility. As a key member of the Taxware Leadership team, I served as a champion for quality throughout the full software development life-cycle. I have created, transformed, and refined many SDLC and process changes as needs, trends, and multiple acquisitions dictated.
