Joined LinkedIn as the first Quality Assurance engineer. Researched and selected the Test Database Management Tool (TestLink) and Automation Tool (Selenium). Selected both a local vendor and offshore vendor (in India) and rigorously managed both vendors to ensure expectations are clear and work is timely. Ultimately due to the teams' growth and size, it was divided—retained responsibility for Central QA with all QA team members company-wide as either direct or indirect reports.
