      Senior Software Test Engineer

      Ensuring quality in a world of organized chaos!To achieve this, I mentor and train current staff on how to look at problems from a different perspective, that of a QA and more so, that of the customer, in an attempt to remove complexity and improve TTP. (Time to Production)For this to be effective, I (along with the help of a couple of great minds) have set up a test automation framework that is both easy to maintain as well as make it possible for even non-developers to create and write test cases, ranging on all three levels of quality. Unit, Functional & Acceptance, fully integrated with the current CI system. Show less
