I began my developer career writing excel macros to automate lookups on mainframe systems. Then I built some desktop apps (front end and back end) using VB6. After a few years, I joined the dark side (QA) and wrote smoke tests and regression tests using QTP.
Nowadays I write test frameworks in C#, java, and javascript. Sometimes I wear the performance engineer hat and use jmeter to develop performance scripts. In this picture, I am about to enjoy some tasty lobster.
