        Austin led the Test Management Office for the QA Center of Excellence Division at BNYMellon to introduce modern QA toolsets with improved technology that can automate mission-critical QA testing. As a QA leader he motivated several teams to scale up from manual testing and increase their level of proficiency in QA automation testing. Austin has demonstrated excellent management abilities which resulted in demands for him to manage teams on several cross-functional projects on an enterprise level. Austin brings to an organization sound judgment, good decision-making ability, and he is very passionate about process improvements through a disciplined approach to be guided by industry’s best practices.

Austin has an outstanding track record for on-time completion of projects because of his ability to clearly communicate criticality and timelines to his team while providing frequent and timely updates to stakeholders. He understands the importance of teamwork by recognizing and rewarding his team for successful completion of projects, positive outcomes and valuable lessons learned. Austin leads with confidence and understands the value of inclusivity which allows him to be surrounded with highly skilled and talented top performers who deliver quality projects with the excellence expected of the team. 
 
On a personal level, I know Austin to be very humble, quite genuine and an inspiring influence as a colleague. He is the professional I would always want on my team and would be happy to vouch for his track record because he always delivers results.
