About Leigh Ishikawa
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions about certifications, technical skills, and realistic job opportunities.

Experience
My speciality is QA, but I have been involved in development, release engineering, configuration management, technical publication as well as human factors aspects of software development. I've done some offshore management in UK, and recruting non-residents in USA, but I am not expert in off-shore recruting efforts. NOTE: College/Highschool student are always welcomed to ask questions!
