What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue supporting mission-critical federal or commercial systems through hands-on manual QA, UAT, requirements traceability, release validation, and close collaboration with delivery teams and stakeholders.

I'm currently supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Cargo/ACE program, translating requirements into test plans, scenarios, test data, and evidence for complex data-heavy web and cloud workflows.

Across U.S. Army IPPS-A, the Census Bureau's 2020 Decennial Program, USPTO, and commercial digital projects, I've executed manual functional, integration, regression, interface, database, accessibility, and end-to-end testing.

I use SQL, DbVisualizer, SoapUI/REST, and XML to validate data, APIs, EDI messages, and downstream processing results. I've maintained RTMs, managed defects through triage and closure, and communicated release risks and validation status to federal stakeholders.

My work includes IV&V, Section 508 accessibility validation, Agile delivery, and remote collaboration across developers, client teams, and defect review boards.
