What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic company that values quality assurance and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a dedicated Senior Software Engineer with over 6 years of experience in quality assurance, specializing in game testing. My journey has been marked by a commitment to delivering polished, bug-free products, ensuring that every project I oversee meets the highest standards of quality. I have successfully managed multiple iGaming projects, including slots and table games, and have consistently completed projects within record time, receiving recognition for my contributions.

Throughout my career, I have taken on leadership roles, managing teams of testers and collaborating closely with development and art teams. My ability to provide insightful feedback and conduct thorough competitor analysis has informed game design decisions, ultimately enhancing the player experience. I am passionate about mentoring junior testers and fostering a collaborative team environment, which I believe is essential for achieving success in any project.
