Background

About Mike Silverman

I am passionate about creating and releasing high-quality software that delights customers and improves their lives. I love technology, but more than tech, it is about people - customers, colleagues, friends, and family - because the purpose of technology is to improve lives. I am an experienced software quality assurance engineer who seeks to understand how entire systems and platforms operate and work together. I can both comprehend the big picture and dive down into the details. If I don't know something, I will figure it out. I am comfortable doing everything from detailed testing to training customers and writing documentation. I have experience in all phases of the software lifecycle including planning, functional testing, issue tracking, documentation, release management, and support in agile fast-paced environments. I love working on great teams with smart people and helping build awesome things!
