Quality Assurance Testing, Technical Project Management—and More

I’ve managed the development of many types of digital projects. I’ve done QA planning, testing and issue logging & tracking, and regularly created, optimized and edited assets for WordPress, Drupal, Magento e-commerce and hand-coded sites, marketing emails, landing pages and display advertising. I’ve transcoded and subtitled video content, generated animated SVG graphics and optimized media. I can spin up a server, create, update and migrate a WordPress site, track dev with Github and edit DNS records.

I’ve coordinated the work of internal, off-site, and contract developers and animators to produce and QA countless marketing emails and scores of Flash display ads, then subsequently managed the transition to HTML5 display when Flash support was discontinued—and QA’d those, too. I’m a very hands-on troubleshooting partner and love jumping into code when the opportunity arises.

I have administered Atlassian Jira and Confluence instances, worked daily in both environments, and orchestrated migration work from Jira server to Cloud after setting up a new client instance. I’ve also earned certification from Atlassian for Jira Cloud Migration Sales.

In a nutshell, I step up. If I don’t already know how to do it, I learn — even if that means grappling with the ins and outs of managing an entire Linux-based marketing intelligence platform—solo—when I had to, or taking over dev duties to author and/or maintain content for websites digital marketing properties after a departmental implosion.

Print/Direct Mail/Digital Marketing Production

With years of experience as a working manager of a fast-paced production studio, I know my way around specs, mechs, and comps — as well as production artists — who are a breed unto themselves. I’ve managed internal resources and external contractors, maintaining a tight grip on quality control, as the bi-directional conduit in and out of the production studio. As is often the case of production gurus, I’ve also anchored the creation, documentation, maintenance and policing of agency workflows and processes.
