Experienced
ALM and SDLC professional with a focus on
RDM and QA improvements. Skilled in taking
organizations to the next level of
efficiency and proficiency to improve
application delivery performance and
product quality.
Hello,
Do you need a person with broad IT
experience who can get things done? Are
you looking for a person who understands
business demands and can consistently
improve quality within those constraints?
If you answered yes to either of these
questions then please read on...
I am accomplished in a variety of roles
throughout all phases of a Software
Development Life Cycle (SDLC). I have
experience in Collaborative Application
Lifecycle Management (C/ALM),
Requirements Engineering, Definition and
Management (RDM), Agile
Development, Quality Assurance (QA) and automated software
testing.
I am organized, detail-oriented, and able
to plan and direct projects. I evaluate
project issues and develop innovative
solutions to meet business, productivity,
and quality goals.
I successfully design and implement
policies and quality-focused processes
throughout the software development life
cycle with a focus on improvements in
product quality as a business priority.
I invite you to review
my resume. If I have the background
and experiences needed for your project or
client then please send an
email so we can discuss the
possibility of working together.

With my interest in RDM and QA it is only
natural that I enjoy working in the domains
of Agile Delivery (Disciplined and Scaled)
and Agile Testing.
I can help you with a balanced hybrid
approach to delivering software solutions
using Agile / Scrum (I am a Certified
ScrumMaster) and traditional
/ iterative using RUP (in an agile way).
As an IBM Certified
Solution Designer for
Rational Unified Process 7.0 I can
provide training and support your use of
Rational Method Composer (RMC). My
experience also includes Rational
Requirements Composer (RRC), DOORS,
RequisitePro, Rational ClearQuest, Rational
Team Concert (RTC) (IBM Rational Team
Concert Technical Sales Professional),
and Rational Quality Manager (RQM) (I'm in
the IBM Regional Mentor Program for Quality
Management and an IBM Rational
Quality Manager Technical Sales
Professional). For
requirements definition and management I
currently work with DOORS, RequisitePro, and
Rational
Requirements Composer (RRC).
These tools support best practices
that can help projects avoid the typical
problems associated with requirements
definition and management that is inadaquate
for project success. You can not design the
right system, build a working solution, or
test for the 'right stuff' if you are unable
to have a shared understanding of
requirements.
Even with all the tooling and
automation provided with the current
generation of tools we still find that
there is often a need to
generate documentation that captures
a point-in-time snapshot of a project. I
have been working with Rational
Publishing Engine (RPE) to
automate the production of documentation
that is needed for audits, regulatory
compliance, or to simply satisfy a
contract clause. With most tools providing
an XML data source RPE is an ideal
platform that can merge data from multiple
sources into a single document. RPE also
provides the flexibility to format
documents as needed and can generate those
documents in multiple formats for
publishing.
I enjoy working with agile IT projects with
a focus on quality. I have always believed
that Quality Assurance and Test teams could,
and should, contribute throughout all phases
of any software delivery lifecycle. The new
V3 Rational tools build on the Jazz platform
support lifecycle projects and enable the
test team to be fully engaged by way of Rational
Quality Manager (RQM). Agile
software delivery supports that belief.
Test-Driven and Acceptance Test-Driven
Development (TDD, ATDD) enable the tester to
make significant contributions. Change is
opportunity, Quality Assurance and Test
teams must seize the opportunity in agile!
I have
implemented a great test automation
framework using IBM Rational
Functional Tester (RFT). I
propose that I can implement a
keyword-driven framework that will provide
you with a terrific return on your
investment.
The test automation framework will enable
efficient implementation of an automated
testing capability using commands that are
a natural part of your business language.
This solution will help your teams succeed
with agile test-driven development.
Support those assuming Quality
Assurance / test roles and let them
contribute to requirement quality and
identifying the full scope of business
scenarios and rules with early test case
development.
While
I often work in an overarching role I
enjoy some hands-on time. If you need
someone to provide services for a
small project such as a simple
web-site implementation, Microsoft macro or
VBA project for Excel or Access, or a simple
Visual Basic application I would be
happy to help. The following are a few
samples of some projects.
