To whom it may concern,

I am very interested in a position at your company. I have been in QA for almost 7 years now and absolutely love every aspect of being in the technology industry.

I most recently contracted for Ecolab’s IT department for a little over a year working on a new G360 Tablet application that will change how their field reps service their customers. I was responsible for creating an official new on board training document for the QA department and created a few new processes within the organization. I lead many big projects both solely and with others following my lead. I helped get the first US/CAN release out the door and many more after. I created test suites and lead the sprint to sprint tasks for the team. I filled in when management was out of the office and/or busy and guided the team in their daily tasks. I organized planning sessions for QA and helped in all scrum meetings. Since the start of 2015 and to date I have found almost double the defects then the next experienced tested in QA.

I started as a contractor for Peoplenet’s beta team in 2009 and also did some work for the wireless and QA departments. We adapted the agile methodology years back and I picked it up very quickly and was even responsible for getting others trained and up to speed on it. It was recommended months after starting SCRUM practices to apply for a SCRUM master position due to how well I have absorbed the knowledge. Upon completion of my contract I was offered a full time position by both the wireless and QA teams. I chose the QA team and never looked back during my 5 year tenure (contract + fulltime). I started off as an associate and quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the most valuable and go to members on the team. I was awarded employee of the year in 2014 for the 2013 year for finding a very critical issue that was outside of my responsibilities, and was projected to save the company millions over the next few years. Along with many other awards and recognitions for which I can provide detail upon request.

I work very well in high pressure situations and can manage short deadlines. I can accommodate and adapt to all aspects of my duties and responsibilities as laid out in front of me. I am excited and enjoy mentoring others and helping them become

a successful part of my team.

I can provide the leadership that is needed, and can be held accountable for my testing deliverables, test plans, assigning resources, tracking and reporting progress. I can plan and direct assigned resources to ensure a quality product is delivered on time and as expected. I can adhere and help other adhere to agile methodology. I can define test strategies for any project given to me. I can review functional spec and business requirements to ensure all is accounted for, and work with the business writers and developers to make sure there is a clear understanding as to what is expected. I enjoy and am capable of being a subject matter expert on not one, but many areas within my responsibilities. I am very comfortable and enjoy collaborating with other teams and peers to get the task completed. I have been responsible for creating test plans and scripts along with helping to automate regression runs. I have reviewed and provided feedback to others in regards to their test plans and scripts. I can document my test strategies and all practices used to get the task completed. I have used a variety of tools for reporting and testing and am quick to adapt to new tools.

Upon leaving PeopleNet & Ecolab I was offered letters of recommendation from some of the team members I worked with on a daily basis. Which include the following people/positions:

PeopleNet Kjell Erickson/ Director of Embedded Software Butch Matson/ SR Software Engineer Mike Brochu/ Beta Manager Mike Soricelli/ Technical Operations Manager James Etie/ Network Operations Manager Ryan Jakubov/Associate Product Manager- Vehicle integration Basant Hammouda/ Software Engineer Anju Andole/ QA Analyst Jacklyn Burns/ QA Analyst

Ecolab Erik Theisz/ G360 Scrum Master Terri Buche/SFDC Administrator Ben Swanson/SR Lead Business Systems Analyst Vineela Kadiyala/ SR QA Analyst

I have included my resume following this cover letter and can provide any of the letters of recommendation listed above or personal recommendations upon request.

If any more info is needed, or if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,
