  Software Quality Assurance : Perform Process and Product audits with High Assurance software development in a SAFe Agile environment. Its very challenging to support Agile while maintaining flight safety, security, regulatory, and contractual requirements. The projects I supported were legacy projects supporting flight planning. Write checklists, audit reports, and presents audit results. Corrective actions were all recorded and monitored to closure. Worked and coached the test teams to ensure successful deployments. The teams I supported had a great record of deployments with minimal defects leakage to the customer. Also did process engineering support for ISO 9001:2008 implementation, leading to achieving ISO certification this year. Certified as Lead Auditor for ISO 9001:2015. Show less
