● I test Lively, an iOS and Android app that provides a health & safety service for older adults. The app connects to an Apple Watch or Lively Wearable device which the user can use to contact Urgent Response services.● For my first two years, I worked on the backend for Lively Link, an app available on web, iOS, and Android.

The app connects to an Apple Watch or Lively Wearable device which the user can use to contact Urgent Response services.● For my first two years, I worked on the backend for Lively Link, an app available on web, iOS, and Android. The application helps caretakers monitor the activities of older adults. I worked on the APIs that the app used and verified that device analytics such as location and battery status were making it from the user's devices including flip phones, smartphones, and personal emergency response devices to the Lively Link app. Troubleshooting was done with searching aggregated logs, analyzing messages sent between services, viewing messages sent by devices, and looking through databases.

● I tested an internal content management system. The UI contained lists of titles and had options for filtering lists, generating Excel reports, validating metadata, viewing title details, and adding title notes. I tested the UI across various browsers and also sent API calls to mock content creation.● I also tested a content ingestion system. This system had no UI so most of the testing involved copying files and tailing logs on Linux servers, checking APIs, querying the database, and… Show more ● I tested an internal content management system.

● I tested the Starz, Encore, and Movieplex streaming video apps for iOS and Android as well as on their website. My test cases included UI testing, functional testing, integration with Starz web services, integration with Deluxe web services, and reporting. The best bug I found had the summary, "If the user backgrounds and foregrounds the app 999,999,999 times, all single reporting events thereafter will be billiontupled."● I worked on the Nook Video app for Roku and the same apps for iOS… Show more ● I tested the Starz, Encore, and Movieplex streaming video apps for iOS and Android as well as on their website.

The best bug I found had the summary, "If the user backgrounds and foregrounds the app 999,999,999 times, all single reporting events thereafter will be billiontupled."● I worked on the Nook Video app for Roku and the same apps for iOS and Android that included video download. This included testing with UV content and rights management. While Starz is a subscription-based service, the Nook Video app was based on purchases and required testing the addition, validation, and removal of user rights.● The devices I used for client application testing included iPod Touches, iPhones and iPads from iOS 5 and up, Android phones and tablets from Android 2.3.x and up including Amazon and Barnes & Noble tablets, Roku 2 and beyond, Chromecast, and Samsung TVs. My favorite device is any device that has Angry Birds installed on it.● I've worked with DeviceAnywhere to try and automate device testing. My goals in this process were to make the actions as generic as possible to allow scalability across multiple devices using different versions of operating systems and to use valid checkpoints to verify the app's state in each step of the script.

● I taught ESL for students of all ages. In the informal adult classes of one to four students, I used company textbooks to teach topics ranging from ordering at a restaurant or talking about hobbies with lower-level students to discussing current news stories and using business language with advanced students.● In larger year-long media classes, I used materials such as a CNN video or a newspaper article to introduce students to critical thinking skills in English.

In the informal adult classes of one to four students, I used company textbooks to teach topics ranging from ordering at a restaurant or talking about hobbies with lower-level students to discussing current news stories and using business language with advanced students.● In larger year-long media classes, I used materials such as a CNN video or a newspaper article to introduce students to critical thinking skills in English. I kept a record of the students progress throughout the year and held counseling sessions with individual students on how to improve on their weak areas.● I had a blast teaching kids ranging from 2 to 12 years old. I showed them new words and structures with flashcards and actions, encouraged repetition, and played fun games with the new vocabulary. I discouraged the use of Japanese while learning English and helped the shyer students get involved with and excited about the lesson. Show less

● I tested a download manager application designed for videos downloads for clients such as Fox TV and the NBA. Most testing was done on websites created for clients and many painful hours were spent checking compatibility with IE6.● I navigated through mobile sites to test downloads of wallpapers, audio, and videos for phones. I verified the back-end processes of content ingestion, video transcoding, content management, and license delivery for these mobile sites.

● I applied a standard test plan to Verizon and U.S. Cellular phone applications. I tested for basic product and network functionality, compliance to Qualcomm’s BREW platform, interaction with core phone functions, and compatibility with a subset of targeted phones.
