Joseph Ferris’s Summary

After 8 years working in data development, I started a new position as a Quality Assurance Analyst in 2003. In my new role, I have been testing data feeds products from sources such as the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. It is my responsibility to work with multiple R&D groups and to write test plans that would ensure error free products. I hope to advance my career and seek new opportunities within the expanding IT industry, by pursuing a master’s degree in Information Technology from Capella University.
