About Patrick Bohr

I have worked in various aspects of Software Quality Assurance for 15+ years through 3 companies with 9 company names via buyouts. I\'ve worked with a lot of languages and compilers, language compiler SQA, System testing, Integration testing, Database SQA and application SQA. Most recently I have added SaaS application testing experience to my list through vAuto/AutoTrader.com/Cox Communications. My current goals include options of Quality Assurance and System Testing in newer environments, with modern open languages, and standard tools and methodologies. I am recently interested in Java, Oracle,QTP, loadrunner, winrunner, etc. I am also interested in Agile or Lean methods but only developing knowledge and skills with respect to these. I have read a lot on a lot of related topics and have a long experience history. I am also drawn into the entreprenuerial world through the startups I am involved with recently. I have been learning about all the aspects of business and how they interact, of course I put a QA perspective on it all. Specialties: Startup Entreprenuer, Learning and networking, Software Quality Assurance Experience, System Test Experience. Resource monitor development and use. RTE load and automation driver development and use. Test harness development and use.

   Learn As You Go

   May 2010 — Present · Austin, TX, US

   My Rapid Launch Project and Passion!Learn As You Go is a combined Learning and Travel Services company for those who have a passion for Lifelong Learning and significant periods time on their hands during travel (In the car, hotel, airplane, bus, train, restaurant etc.) Some of my best vacations were at great great destinations with great learning adventures achieved during the down times. As the founder and solo-enpreprener I have many tasks and skills to perform and learn. From performing my own design & implementation, to networking, social media, web design and maintenance, photography, information gathering database and system admin, email, facebook, twiiter, photoshop, CRM, etc.I spend much time living in my own product space, finding anything new and interesting to learn about \"on the go\". Social media sites like meetup.com, and web sites like door64.com, eventbrite.com, help me find great meetings and great people to learn from in person and network with in person.
