TESTING RESUME PAGE
last updated 20101010 0730
My name is Doug Smith.
I am a QA engineer (tester/programmer) by profession (IBM mainframe) currently unemployed. I naturally like to help companies enhance their products, give them feedback on errors, proofread, find syntax issues, or find serials that exist on the web. When I like a product I offer my time (barter help in return for products). I try to help if I can. I pay for things I like (or barter help time for product). (Do you happen to have your products on CD? I do testing cf cd based products too. I have a cable modem. Downloading is fast for me. If needed I will try to use a 56k modem to test downloading also. That does take time, though that is a part of testing since that is the way many companies have products now.)
I am currently working with American, English, French, Greek, Japanese, Swedish and New Zealand companies to test and report bugs, compromises, grammar/spell checks, and suggest enhancements for their products.
I found sites that had codes to unlock Holiday Lights and Twinkle Bulbs and I am currently looking and reporting more.
I have helped Pacestar(maker of Edge Diagrammer and Wizflow). In hunting down serials/keygens sites to keep them informed of how far ahead they are in security. they gave me a CD of their product and I found it's install program chopped statements that told the user how to install it. I also found a few problems in the running of their product -- some diagrams did not show in preview mode.
For TBAV anti virus - I found sites that had codes to unlock their demo into full working program. I was given a Key for a FULL version.
I found a shareware Sim City (which also was on CD) for Maxis. Sim City was never shareware -- this was a hacked copy. Plus, Maxis never had Sim City in this form on CD ... this violated an agreement, they went after the company in CA, USA, stopped them from producing the cd, and made them destroy the stock they had.
I am a beta tester for products for Axialis.com (French). I also proofread their website and products for english syntax and let them know what I find.
I am a tester for both www.meanfox.com and www.3dwonders.com, and they list me in the contact section.
I am a tester, grammar consultant, proofreader, and enhancement suggester for:
1) Mu-Tech of Japan ... They make ACS (Automated Composing system) with creates midi files based on style(s) chosen by the user.
2) Nexus Media www.nexusmedia.net ... creator of great screen savers and programs.
3) Howies Funware www.howiesfunware.com ... creator of great screen savers and programs.
4) Nusoft www.nufsoft.com ... creator of Nature Illusion Studio, Water Illussion ScreenSAver, and Ace Pro Screensaver Creator. 3 great nature effects programs.

“Doug has been invaluable to my MeanFox.com and 3dWonders.com businesses in recent times. I only wish I had found him earlier. He has given me a great detail of bug reports and feedback - and any developer will know that customer feedback is hard to come by. I have made a significant number of improvements as a direct result of his assistance. I hope I have the benefit of his assistance with future product releases. Highly recommended.”

=====================================================
Would you like me to test products, proofread and/or find syntax error in products and/or website, or hunt down serial/keygen/crack sites for you?
I'll do it for a personal registered cop(y/ies) of your product(s) you want me to QA.
I will test program, report bugs, suggest enhancements, spell/grammar check, plus report hacker url sites I find that create problems for your product(s). I am doing this for other companies. This can tell you how far ahead of the sites your security system is, and if any products are close to being compromised or are compromised. This also helps you keep track of such sites and locates them if you want to prosecute them.
This is a way of my bartering my time for a product I like. We both win. Plus, you avoid getting viruses and having to unpopup the obscene popups and links. Doug.
P.S. If given key(s)/personal cop(y/ies) I will not divulge in any way.
Thank you for visiting my page at Angelfire. Please come back and visit again!
