  At SparkCognition, I ran QA for the DeepArmor Cyber Security suite of products. Everything from architecting our automation frameworks, to leading an onshore/offshore team of analysts and test engineers, to working with product and development to make sure that what we were building was as good as it could possibly be. I'll flesh this out a little bit more next week, but it was a solid team of talented individuals that I'm glad I got to be a part of!

CoStar Group

• United States
• Real Estate
• 700 & Above Employee

• Technical Manager - Quality Assurance

  • Jul 2016 - Jan 2019

  At CoStar Group I was in charge of automated and manual testing for CoStar Real Estate Manager, an industry leading solution for commercial real estate lease management and accounting. I took over a team of 2 with very little automated testing and grew it into multiple teams with 90% automated test coverage as we updated our software to comply with the new FASB accounting requirements. I was responsible for implementing the entire QA process from the ground up in an audit-able fashion to comply with both SOC-2 and SOX requirements. I introduced BDD into our testing process and ran a really successful team that I'm still immensely proud of. Show less



Promethean

• United States
• Education Administration Programs
• 500 - 600 Employee

• Director of Software Quality Assurance

  • Sep 2010 - Jun 2016

  At Promethean I led a global test team with staff in Atlanta, Seattle, Blackburn and Shenzhen. I set process for software/hardware testing across the company and architected both the automated and manual testing strategy for dozens of products ranging from tablets, interactive flat panels, set top boxes, drivers, multiple saas based web applications, and a variety of ios/android/windows mobile apps. I standardized defect and test case management/reporting across the engineering centers and in a nutshell herded cats to make sure that the testing and release management process was followed prior to product release and our test engineering efforts reflected modern frameworks and practices. Somehow I also found the time to continue to help my team be awesome at what they do and improve themselves. Show less
