Brian Baugh

I have a solid understanding of various testing techniques, including black-box, white-box, and gray-box testing. I apply these principles to ensure robust software quality. I excel at creating comprehensive test scenarios and detailed test plans.

My meticulous approach ensures thorough coverage of test cases. I am familiar with the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and understand the importance of QA throughout the development process. I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

I have hands-on experience with browser developer tools (e.g., Chrome DevTools). This allows me to identify front-end issues efficiently.
