Testing software that real people 12 depend on to do important work is something I take seriously, and behavioral health practice 13 management is exactly that kind of software. 14 15 I've spent the past three years as a Software Quality Analyst at Leggett & Platt, where I test 16 web and mobile applications across iOS, Android, and browser-based platforms. My day-to-day work 17 covers manual and exploratory testing, defect documentation, root cause analysis, and working 18 directly with development teams to define acceptance criteria and close the loop on issues. I write 19 automation scripts in Python and PowerShell to handle repeatable test cases and extend coverage 20 beyond what manual testing can sustain alone. 21 22 I want to be straightforward about the automation stack: my automation experience has been with 23 Python rather than Selenium or Cucumber. The underlying skills — structuring test cases, managing 24 test data, integrating checks into a development workflow — translate directly, and I'm confident I 25 can get up to speed on the specific frameworks quickly. What I bring is a solid foundation in 26 testing discipline and an existing habit of automating the things that shouldn't be done by hand. 27 28 What draws me to TherapyNotes specifically is the combination of a focused product and a team that 29 clearly cares about quality. Clinicians using your software need it to work reliably, every time. 30 That's not an abstract quality metric — it has a direct impact on patient care. That's the kind 31 of work I want to be doing. 32 33 I'd welcome the chance to talk about the role and how my background fits. Thank you for your 34 time and consideration. 35 36 Sincerely,\ 37 Chris Roberts
