About Kenny Higgs

I am a team player. I can be the most valuable person in your team, department, or company. I have a hard time not doing my best, and strive to find my limitations. I have been at various companies of different types and styles, from large companies with hundreds of engineers, to small shops with less than a dozen engineers. I\'ve experienced both fast-paced and more cautious environments, and work well in both. I have experienced both Waterfall and Agile, and have experience in testing in both scenarios. I have mentored many to work as automation engineers rather than as solely manual testers, some of whom knew nothing about programming prior to my mentorship.I am experienced with cURL, Telnet, OpenSSL command-line utilities; HTML, CSS, Python, Javascript, Java, git, SSH, and SQL languages; Selenium, Splinter, Cypress, Karma; Vagrant and Virtual Box environments; Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8, CentOS, Ubuntu, Mint, and Mac OSX operating systems; Burp, Tamper Data, Firebug, Web Developer Tools, Atlassian, Selenium IDE, Bugzilla, Wireshark, Eclipse, DHC, Postman, and SQL Developer interfaces; and Internet Explorers 6-10, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Tor browsers, as well as proxies.
