SUMMARY:

I have over twenty years of knowledge and experience with the Information Technology industry. In one of my most recent role, I was wholly responsible for a company - wide Quality Assurance portfolio management and project management using agile methodology. I achieved my CTFL (Certified Tester Foundation Level) certificate, and CTAL (Certified Tester Advanced Level) certificate. I am a proven leader, able to mentor and lead highly motivated and productive teams. I have also performed in diverse roles involving programming, testing, consulting, and tutoring and technology evaluation. I have a natural affinity for technology, with demonstrative ability to move easily among various systems and rapidly adopt new tools. I have tested both manual and automated with experience using Mercury-Quality Center, QuickTest Profession, Clear Quest, Test Studio, Telerik, Test Track Pro, and QA Wizard Pro. My verbal and written communications are solid and I will make an immediate impact in my next project working well independently or as part of a team. My high performance, high energy, consistent closer, and being a road warrior has helped me demonstrated a record of accomplishment for successfully managing a diverse portfolio of projects. I am willing to collaborate with developers, business analysts, and UX resources to design manual and automated test cases that have clearly understood entry and success criteria.
