Maria Ruiz is a Senior Quality Engineer - KCA , AUSC, SMCE, SPOCE.. Colleagues describe her as "Maria was an outstanding software tester at APG Costa Rica. I hired Maria as an early addition to a new development team which included developers of all stripes as well as a testing team in charge of keeping it all running. Maria turned out to be one of our best hires. She was always extremely reliable and deserves a lot of the credit for our low defect rate. One reason for that is her intelligence and ability to take responsibility to ensure the job gets done. In other words, she's able to self-manage the details and make decisions on the fly. We delivered complex, mission critical software and the QA aspect was not trivial; she did a great job for us. Along with that she was an amazingly good team member, working well within her own squad and among all of the other teams; from business and systems admin to the developers of the code she was testing. Maria would be a huge asset to any team."
