As part of the engineering team for the Shotgun Production Management solution at Autodesk, Dan is responsible for the largest part of the product, covering complex workflows and product configurability. This extremely integrated portfolio is foundational to the usability of the product and Dan is the person who ensures it’s readiness for shipping. As the release testing coordinator, Dan is responsible for organizing and planning out the test release cycles and getting QA team members aligned on the timeline, process, completeness and communication of the release. His skill and passion for customer success come together to ensure stability and reliability of the product as well as looking out for opportunities to continually improve our workflow test automation. With his deep product and industry knowledge, Dan is the go to person on the team when people need to understand how something works or should work. Dan was instrumental in ramping up an entire team in Krakow to work on a new business and product growth opportunity, then taking on the test automation for that team. It has been a pleasure to watch Dan increase his impact across the organization and see his continued success in our testing team.
