"I have been with Scholastic for the past 6 years. Scholastic is historically a book publisher who has been playing catch-up in the world of software. I started out in Quality Assurance, leading projects and training new employees. When the Performance Team was formed, I pushed internally to shift into Performance Testing. The framework for making such a move did not exist in any structured manor. However, management was instrumental in backing my move into Performance Engineering."
