Leslie has extensive experience with QA and has automated testing in more languages than he can remember. He has constantly searched for more efficient methodologies and tools for automation and has trained and led teams in new and innovative automation technologies. His favorite anecdote is about the test that he reduced from 30 minutes (automated by someone else) to 90 seconds (automated better).
In his constant drive to test better, faster, and cheaper tomorrow than today, Leslie was an early adopter of Specification by Example/BDD; he is currently using it to write requirements for the firmware that drives high-efficiency electric motors, and loving the challenge and the fast pace of learning.
Leslie is currently training and coaching for a well-funded Silicon Valley startup. He has a Bachelor’s in Math/Computer Science, MBA and holds a couple of patents for in-circuit hardware testing.
