About Me

As a servant leader, I encourage professionals to focus on quality which yields velocity by decreasing tons of rework and technical debt. Today’s online and cloud application get more demand than ever before, it is hard to predict the peak load and maximum capacity of your application.

According to Dunn & Bradstreet, 59% of Fortune 500 companies experience an estimated 1.6 hours of downtime every week. The average Fortune 500 Company with a minimum of 10, 000 employees are paying $56 per hour. If the system is down, the company would lose $896,000 weekly in revenue, translating to more than $46 million per year.

Risk and Consequence of Poor Application Performance

Abandonment (48% of users will not return)
Reputation Damage (88% of people form a negative opinion due to poor application quality)
Lost Revenue (1 second delay can cause a 7% drop in conversation)

By leveraging my broad industry experience, I take risk and budget cost approaches to design and manage performance testing projects. Skilled within Quality Assurance Management I have achieved holistic improvements by delivering stable applications.

My architect background includes partnering with the business and non-technical audiences to provide a broad-range of performance test solutions. For more details on how I have achieved the delivering full scale IT solutions, please review my LinkedIn profile.
