I'm a master problem-solver with over 16 years of experience in Quality Assurance, encompassing managerial leadership and hands-on technical roles.
As a seasoned leader, I can successfully manage any team to achieve organizational goals. I'm focused on value and driving the right solution. Despite obstacles, I have absolute hunger to create successful results for the company and the team.
I can develop and actualize a vision, mission, and strategy into a cohesive outcome through capable team management, tactical execution, and focus on daily progress.
I'm well-versed in a variety of technical tools and topics to match the right tools with the needs of the business. I consistently approach work with a positive attitude, strong leadership and teamwork, and hands-on expertise.
Comfortable with ambiguity and moving between projects, I am motivated in the face of uncertainty because it inspires me to evolve and innovate. I have experience in the Advanced Software Development Lifecycle, including Agile (SCRUM, Kanban), Spiral and Waterfall methods.

Focused and self-motivated team player with an absolute hunger to create successful results for the company and the team.
