SUMMARY

• I have over four years of experience testing on a variety of different platforms including web-based software, SAP, mainframe, and thick clients.

• As a tester, I have written and executed hundreds of test cases, and have automated many test cases using C#/Selenium.

• As a test lead, I have created detailed test plans as well as tracked, organized, and communicated testing progress during test execution.

• Working for a Fortune 500 company has given me a wide variety of experiences and skills as each project has brought on a new set of challenges and techniques necessary to get work done both efficiently and thoroughly.
