What I'm looking for

I’m open to select Eggplant engineering positions, preferably remote. For the right opportunity I’ll consider hybrid travel (a couple weeks a quarter). I won’t relocate full time, and I prefer short to medium term consulting/contracting.

I’m a semi-retired, experienced QA Automation engineer and team lead focused on delivering reliable automation across real-world enterprise environments. I bring a demonstrated history of working in both professional and software development settings, with a strong emphasis on QA automation architecture.

My core strength is Eggplant-based automation: I map and maintain comprehensive models using Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence (DAI) and write, execute, and manage test scripts with Eggplant Functional. I’ve also trained teams in Eggplant Functional programming using SenseTalk, helping others adopt automation principles and practices.

I’ve applied this expertise to demanding testing work, including Oracle EBS validation and multi-device coverage (Windows, Mac, POS, and iOS/Android mobile devices). In recent roles, I also used playwright and Claude to build comprehensive end-to-end tests.

Career-wise, I’m open to select Eggplant engineering positions, preferably remote. For the right opportunity, I’ll consider a hybrid scenario where I travel on-site for a maximum of a couple weeks a quarter—and I will not relocate full time. My preference is short to medium term consulting or contracting that leverages my extensive Eggplant expertise.
