Denise Ostrander
I had the pleasure of working with Alena for the past 1 year as part of the QA team for GigLabs. Alena was quick to onboard, and make a positive impact in our testing efforts. With a passion for learning new things and technology, she single handedly built out our Test Automation framework. She was able to script close to 40% of our manual cases, verifying API methods, as well as UI web based application functionality. Her efforts helped us shorten our test efforts, allowing us to streamline the quick deployments our customers needed for their business. Alena was and is a great asset to have on your team.
