What I'm looking for

QA Manager with 14+ years of expertise leading quality governance, slot OS architecture, and multi-jurisdictional compliance for regulated gaming products. Seeking a strategic quality leadership role to drive scalable testing methodologies, automation frameworks, and high-performance release workflows in an innovative, product-focused team.

At Zvky Design Studio, I led a 14-member QA team and coordinated quality delivery across five concurrent project streams. I also established pre-compliance checklists for markets including Brazil, Mexico, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Ohio.

As QA Lead at Zvky Design Studio, I investigated production and field issues through log analysis and root-cause diagnostics. I standardized release frameworks to cover rare interruption scenarios during gameplay.

At Light & Wonder, I tested Slot OS implementations, game mechanics, and host-network communications using G2S and ASP. I also verified hardware peripherals and documented compliance milestones supporting GLI and BMM laboratory approval.

Earlier, at Scientific Games and Bally Technologies, I tested regulated gaming systems, remote upgrades, and casino-floor connectivity across multiple jurisdictions. I bring hands-on experience with EGM/VLT systems, regulatory compliance, and structured software QA.
