Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoe Tom is a seasoned Quality Assurance Specialist with 11 years of experience testing web, installed, and backend applications and mentoring teams across both product and support functions. He has led manual testing and test-plan development at Sonatype—contributing not only to Nexus Repository code and formats (Maven, PyPi, npm) but also to CI/CD, database operations, and documentation improvements. Skilled at triage, backlog management, and user-facing support, he builds processes that keep developers focused while ensuring security and usability issues are surfaced and resolved. Comfortable in government contract environments and open to remote or hybrid roles, he prefers minimal travel and does not plan to relocate. Less obvious: he pairs hands-on testing with small code changes and scripting, bridging QA and engineering to unblock customers and colleagues quickly.
