Patrick Hicks

I am an American C# full stack developer that prefers the title Efficiency Developer because that is what I have been doing for the last 7 years.  I love making life easier for both developers and QA’s on a daily basis.  What does that mean?  It means building tools and internal websites to help generate testing data and building round the clock automation that provides regression testing to free up manual testers to focus on more edge cases.

I live alone with my dog Princess and enjoy watching sports, playing video games, and walking to the dog park.
