Product Release Manager - Joined Safe Software in November 2008
What is your role here at Safe?
I'm the Build and Release Team lead – we're the ones who ensure that FME is as perfect as possible when a release goes out. We constantly monitor functionality, performance and stability and strive for constant improvement!
So FME goes through some pretty rigorous testing then.
QA is critical – we run each build through thousands of tests. For most of the year we're building and releasing betas three or more times a week, in addition to annual releases and interim service packs.
Do you have an adventurous streak?
Perhaps! I have my Private Pilot's License, and once flew down to Reno for the air races in a Cessna. Things didn't go exactly as planned, including a diversion to Vancouver International due to weather, but we got there eventually. That was a great trip.
We hear you like to fly down hills, too…
I can't wait to get my 18-month-old son out on skis – Vancouver is a great place to live for that.
