My pivotal role involved spearheading the QA part of the refactor from Java to Unity. I took charge as the sole QA personnel, donning multiple hats as a QA Tester, Analyst, and even occasionally performing managerial duties under stringent timelines.In this position direct collaboration with developers, project managers, and various team members was pivotal. Simultaneously, I juggled multiple other projects, including the Scrabble Vision Scorekeeper+, an innovative application tailored for scoring the Scrabble board game by leveraging smartphone technology.All these responsibilities were managed remotely, where I not only fulfilled QA obligations but also took charge of hardware and certification requirements needed for testing.Beyond my QA-centric roles, I've consistently engaged in a customer service capacity, addressing PackRat users' queries, concerns, and suggestions. This daily interaction involved offering advice, assistance, and attentive support through customer service emails and an active Facebook group.

Shipped the following product:Disney Infinity 2.0At Panic Button Games I was hired to do compliance testing for Sony PS4 TRC. I worked on the Disney Infinity 2.0 (And 3.0) project. I set up test cases for the project and helped with onboarding new QA staff as they were brought on. I worked directly with the development team on TRC issues. I also helped with incoming bugs from QA Teams outside the company from the publishing partners. I would check the bugs for accuracy and, if needed, edited for clarity. Then tested and passed on to Devs. This was in addition to other projects that I was a part of that were being worked on like the studios own creation Alien Race for Android platforms and a very minor role in Octodad Dadliest Catch on the Wii U.

Shipped the following products: AionGuild Wars 2At NCSOFT I worked in the Hardware lab. I built testing machines and other hardware to spec to test game launchers and installers. This included all OS’s, memory types, CPU’s, and Video Cards. Large spreadsheets were custom created for this task and I helped create some of them. We also provided IT support to the QA Testing teams as needed. I was briefly in charge of the MAC NCLauncher (think Steam-like application for NCSOFT games) doing most of the testing and test cases myself until the NCLauncher was discontinued as a service. I also did Website QA Testing.

My role in this was to communicate daily tasks form the Lead QA Analyst to the testing team. And to oversee testing, test case creation, and as a point of contact for the Lead QA Analyst.
