@joeldavenport
I drive game production milestones and quality in Unreal Engine ecosystems.
What I'm looking for
I've led production pipelines and milestone delivery for Nexcalibur's Covenant: Guardians of Heaven, a high-fantasy Unreal Engine 5 game. I coordinate six senior co-founders and partners, align creative vision with technical execution, and build combat mechanics, environment layouts, and landscapes.
Over five years at Epic Games, I progressed from Tester I to Senior Tester, managing technical validation, visual auditing, and manual testing for high-profile projects. I contributed to the In Island Transaction device project, authored QA training curricula, and used Jira, TestRail, UEFN, and Agile workflows to improve quality, accessibility, and release readiness.
