Bio
Nicole Keil
Kate was a valuable team member who will be sorely missed. She is an excellent analytical thinker who is up for any challenge you throw at her. While at Picturepark she helped vastly improve the quality of our regression test cases as well as working on advanced feature testing and test automation using Telerik Test Studio. She is well versed in software testing methodologies and continuously seeks to improve her knowledge and gather new skills.
