After demonstrating competence in management, I was promoted to a senior level manager.

I started as a Sr level SDET, but quickly transitioned to a role in management.The QA team initally had very low morale and was not writing much test automation. In my time, I have focused on increasing team happiness, productivity, and knowledge. We now have a very functional team that is properly embedded into scrum teams and writing effective test automation for each sprint.I have also spent a lot of time managing the entire recruiting pipeline for QA at Triton. I have been able to hire some high performing engineers to keep pace with engineering.

- Quickly ramped up and leaned to code in Java (formerly .net).- Started writing impactful end-to-end test automation on day one.- Wrote a brand new framework for front end testing since the only one was slow and overly bloated. The project was immediately successful.- Mentioned Junior engineers and helped them achieve greater velocity

When I started at RPS, there was very little in the way of automated testing. Within my first month, I had established an automation framework and set it up within the delivery pipeline. With more confidence in the quality of code, I pushed for automatic deployments out to staging. This was a big deal because before this time, everything required user interaction and I am a champion for automation throughout the entire life cycle.

When I started at Scentsy, I was a manual tester. I immediately began my journey to become an SDET and moved into the role rather quickly. What really shined was my ability to learn quickly and my unrelenting work ethic.In time, I became the lead SDET for the IT department and ran many, very successful projects that increased quality across the organization. My favorite project was building a test dashboard using .net core and D3.js. I had no experience with these technologies when I started, but we ended the project with massive success. The dashboard showed the passing rate of all tests over time along with videos of the test executing. Users could also kick off any number of tests on demand and see the status in real time. We also added analytics and triage tools for the testing team.When given the opportunity, I would pick up defects that happened to make it to production and fix them, as well as add unit/integration tests so they wouldn't happen again

In my time at Lionbridge, I was able to show competence and work my way into becoming a full time employee (FTE). This may not seem like a great feat, but there were very few FTE hired within the company and it was very difficult to become one.During one contract in particular, we had a team of developers assigned to a project and I was assigned to a separate contract by myself, testing their software. The manager at the company liked my work so much, he kept my contract much longer than expected, even after cancelling the other development project.Manual testing on a wide variety of products including mobile, web, hardware specifications, translations, etc.Performed contract work with HP, Microsoft, Palm, and many more.
