EDI Test Automation In Healthcare11/12/2015
I have experienced many complicated problems needing to be solved throughout my career as a software testing engineer. There are always more bugs to find, more software to break, and more tools to learn. However, one of my greatest accomplishments has been in developing, building, and executing a KDT framework to enable test automation in healthcare.

The Project Doctor Is In: The Importance Of Routine Project Health Checks11/8/2018
Can a software project be alive? This is an interesting idea, as a software project has no body, no apparent vital signs to measure, and has no other tangible qualities one would attribute to “life." A project is born, it grows, it consumes resources, and has a finite end usually marked by retiring support or through abrupt termination. Inorganic, incorporeal, but it is indeed living, and it requires proper and routine check-ups to keep the project headed toward success. As a doctor performs a health check on patients, so to must project leaders check-up on their living projects.
