What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my QA expertise to enhance software quality and team performance.

I am a dedicated QA Engineer with extensive experience in game and software testing, automation, and team leadership. My journey in quality assurance began with a strong foundation in computer games development, where I led a team project to create an RTS video game. This experience ignited my passion for ensuring software reliability and improving test efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have established and led QA departments, developed comprehensive test plans, and executed automated test scripts using tools like Appium and Java.

My role as a QA Lead at N3twork Studios allowed me to enhance test coverage significantly, while my tenure at EA Games saw me expanding test case coverage and improving testing accuracy through innovative cinematic test scenes.

I thrive in collaborative environments and have a proven track record of working closely with development teams to optimize performance and deliver high-quality products.
