A software testing professional with 18 years’ experience in a variety of testing and QA roles. Through this experience I have gained valuable knowledge in the following areas:• Experience in developing, documenting and executing test cases across multiple platforms and business areas.• Experiencing in providing test estimates, incident tracking, writing test reports and signing off on release quality.• Proven track record of managing teams and working closely with all team members to motivate and improve on existing skills. • Practical experience of working in an agile environment on a number of projects. • Business knowledge of banking systems, Corporate Actions, Trade Processing, SWIFT messaging.I see myself as a career tester, someone who is very passionate and fully committed to the role of test and QA in software development. I have a particular flair/interest in functional and regression testing. I really enjoy working on projects from inception right up to release to the customer and maintenance thereafter. I hold strong belief that as a tester you can never be involved too early in a project and enjoy working across departments and resources to achieve success in a project.While I am very capable of working on my own initiate and pushing my ideas forward I love working as part of a team and particular enjoy mentoring and managing other team members to fulfill their potential and continuously improve.
