Bio
Eric Richardson
I had the opportunity to work with Montrail on two previous engagements. His expertise in quality assurance testing and team management were extremely vital to the successful projects we completed. I would happily recommend him as a testing or management resource to anyone searching for a well qualified and experienced candidate. I hope to have the pleasure to work with him on a project in the future.
David Verhulst
Montrail and I worked together for several years. During that time, Montrail proved to be a dedicated team member and team leader. Montrail often handled tasks that required a high level of focus, and he balanced that with leading a team that might reach 60 people. I would recommend him for any test team, as an individual contributor or as a team leader.
