Hi there, I’m Laurie Abbott

I’m a project manager located in sunny San Diego. I pride myself in great quality work, with proven results.

Skills, you say? I have a few.

Software Testing

I have over 7 years experience with application and web-based software testing. I’ve always loved thinking like an end user to help produce the best software. And, witnessing a customer’s delight with your product doesn’t hurt either.

Technical Writing

Technical Writing and I have a love affair. I may move on to other projects, but I always return to writing and editing; it’s my home base.

Budget and Schedule Management

Need someone to provide guidance on how much slack you have in your schedule? Or why your budget needs some adjustments? It may be that your product (and even engineers) simply need more runway than originally thought.

System Administration

Pure problem solving fun. Administration is something I enjoy immensely. I’m not advanced, but I definitely know enough to manage day-to-day maintenance.

Digging a little deeper…

I’m one of those documentation specialists who loves testing the barriers of the product, while focusing on driving a project to completion. Oh, and I know thing or two about UNIX as well. You know–standard stuff.
