Objective

I am an Automation Software QA Tester with over 9 years of Information Technology related experience. I have been involved in developing and testing web and mobile applications both manual and automation, digital multimedia & marketing, graphic design, and project management. I maintain a passion for technology and helping others get the most out of technology by using the appropriate tools, techniques, and strategies to ensure clients satisfaction.

What I Do ?

I have been working with technology for as long as I can remember. When someone asks me what I can do, I don't answer with with a list, I answer with "What would you like done so I can make it happen."

 Richard Branson once said "If someone offers you an amazing opportunity and you're not sure you can do it, say yes - then learn how to do it later." I like to think of myself as an individual who is well diverse in his skills. Whether it's performing Automated Testing, Manual Testing, QA Analysis, Consulting, Web Design, I.T Support, or Code, I do not limit myself. I have a passion for constantly challenging myself and learning new skills that I can apply to both work and everyday life.
