Hello from Research Triangle Park, NC, home of the Visual Studio 2005 Team System Source Control development team.  I am a tester on the Hatteras team.

I have been with Microsoft since September of last year.  Prior to Microsoft, I was a system / software engineer for Sony-Ericsson (formerly Ericsson). I am one of the few native North Carolinians on the team, born in the metropolis of Clinton, NC.  I have been in the Raleigh / Durham, NC area since my junior year in high school at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics.  I continued my education in this area at North Carolina State University and graduated with a degree in Computer Engineering and a minor in math.

Since starting on the hatteras team as a Software Development Engineer / Test (SDE/T), I have worked on testing the status command and now am squarely focused on stress and performance testing for the hatteras server.

I am looking forward to blogging about hatteras and whatever else may come up over the course of time.  Stay tuned for more about performance and stress testing!  Let me know if you have specific requests you’d like to see on this blog, and I’ll see about getting around to them.
