Neil Cary Email & Phone Number

I'm in QA with a load of technical skills: Very comfortable writing SQL queries, digging through HTML markup and writing web automation code using Selenium. Working with developers to debug, watching web traffic with a proxy tool like Fiddler and writing scripts with something like Powershell to get the job done is par for the course. Comfortable in an Aglie environment, knowledgeable of source control systems, and very detail oriented.And, just as important - if not more important - than any technical skill is staying customer focused. A piece of software can be technically brilliant, but if it does not meet the customer's need that is a big problem. Verifying the products developed provide value to the customer is always at the forefront of my decisions.Career highlights - Through improved practices and automation on a previously problematic program reduced the testing cycle of 2 to 3 weeks down to 2 to 3 days with greatly increased product quality- Instrumental in getting a product upgrade process from taking often more than a day to under 10 minutes- Was the go-to person for complicated and large product installations.Random fact - I'm in the top 5 Top Answerers on Stack Overflow for the WatiN web automation framework. Username = Ocary. http://stackoverflow.com/tags/watin/topusers

Listed skills include Qtp, Performance Testing, Tfs, Test Planning, and 14 others.
