After 15 years in enterprise technology, I launched an independent consulting business providing business analysis, web and mobile application testing, accessibility assessments, voice-over, and audio narration services. Recent projects include completing a comprehensive QA assessment for a health and wellness client, testing both public-facing and secure web/mobile experiences. This included account setup, authentication, gated content, usability, functionality, accessibility (ADA/WCAG) observations, and identifying potential security concerns with detailed reporting and recommendations. I also completed a mobile application testing engagement for a client in the online dating industry, documenting functionality, usability, and defects through screen-recorded demonstrations. In addition to technology consulting, I have expanded into professional voice-over and audio production. I completed a text-to-speech (TTS) training project, producing approximately three hours of professionally recorded and edited dialogue using Reaper in a treated recording environment with professional recording equipment. Audio was edited, mastered, and delivered to meet the client's technical specifications and quality standards. I continue to audition for audiobook narration opportunities while growing my voice-over portfolio for audiobooks, eLearning, corporate narration, and other spoken-word projects. As a self-employed professional, I manage every aspect of client engagements, including business development, proposals, project planning, communication, delivery, quality assurance, invoicing, and ongoing client relationships.
