                       Software Engineer/Tester

Hello 

I am a developer from the USA with strong education
background as well as solid work experience at IBM
Research.

At IBM Research, I was employed as Staff Software Engineer.  
My principal role was software testing; various kinds; system, performance,
functional.

My programming skills were heavily employed to create,
generate, execute test cases; to report results;
to develop testing tools; for test automation. 

The position also involved interacting with remote
teams, testing documentation, providing assistance 
with deployment.

My education background includes a Bachelor degree in
Computer Science from Stanford University; a certificate 
in Personal Software Process, from Carnegie Mellon University, 
which introduced a framework for making improvements in work 
that is to be done as a product line or repeatedly; 
a handful of graduate courses in Applied Computer Science.

I am very excited to be returning back to work after 
taking some time off. 

I look forward to a successful career and with much enthusiasm 
to be part of a great team.

Sincerely.
