Andrew Bardallis found his first software defect in a music notation program during his freshman of college. Three years and one music performance degree later, he found himself in a technical support and testing role at the company that created that very program. Having finally brought the defect that had been robbing him of sleep for the past three years to justice, he spent the next five honing his skills and broadening his impact as a software tester for some of the largest companies in the United States. As part of the younger generation software testers, he enjoys sharing his unique perspective with other testers to help them grow in their craft.
