Garcia Honvoh, QA Specialist, Ghana

Greater Accra, Ghana
There are very few people in the world who can say 'we're updating the site today, and then we get to test!' with genuine, palpable enthusiasm. BusyLab is lucky enough to have discovered one of them. Garcia Honvoh, known in the office as Mama G, has been at BusyLab for two years working as a Quality Assurance Specialist. She says she is 'too curious', a characteristic she sees as a necessity to thrive in the world of QA. That curiosity, along with her determination to get to the bottom of any problem she’s investigating, has been part of her personality since she was a young girl growing up in Benin. Now, though, she gets to use it in a way she feels can positively impact people, and to her it’s the perfect job. Garcia loves finding defects in TradeNet before the public sees them, because at the end of the day, she says, QA exists to help developers create the best product they can, ensuring that users have a positive, hassle-free experience. It’s impossible to convey Garcia’s fabulous energy through the written word, but it can be said that she is not only consistent in keeping BusyLab’s software bug free, but also in cheering up the office on a daily basis. Garcia and her husband, a radio frequency engineer who also hails from Benin, are expecting their first child in October. They plan to teach the new baby all about technology, doing their part to usher in a new, tech savvy generation in West Africa.
