Bio
Sarah-Catherine P.
Chris and I built hand in hand our Quality practice and challenged each other to come up with new ways of evolving Quality engineering over 4 years of fun! We could write up a book about our different experiments (100% embedded, separate the automation team and our center of excellence, bring them all back together, QA consulting approach, etc… (just ping us if you want to know more!) In this journey, Chris has done an incredible job influencing Uptake’s engineering team mindset. He’s owned QA globally for a year now and he has supported hiring, training, coaching, and managing roadmaps, like a pro. Transforming a culture and pushing for the right testing is one of the hardest things to do and he has a proven track record that with patience and the right tools, teams can deliver fast with quality. Chris has been a role model and a great mentor (not only for our QA folks and engineering) but across all of our teams in Technology Operations. I would highly recommend Chris to any team that is looking for a people manager with a strong ethic that cares about governance, quality, and delivering reliable products.

As the only QA Engineer on the Marketplace team, Chris solely tested some of the largest and most detailed features on the website. Not only did his great attention to detail allow the team to launch features with a high degree of quality but his thoroughness and great communication made user testing almost seamless. It did not take long for Chris to become my go to guy for all of our releases. Chris was not only great at his job but he was also a great teammate. In an ever changing environment he remained flexible while always offering up suggestions on process improvements. I highly recommend Chris and hope to have the pleasure of working with him again.
