I am also ultimately responsible for QA Testing any Dovetail Live functionality that is put into our games, including Login and Registration systems.I have to work and communicate with the Game Development teams for each game franchise and the Dovetail Live team, to ensure that all back-end and front-end systems are in place and working exactly as intended.In addition to testing developments, I work closely with our Data Scientist to test our telemetry data to ensure that data is being recorded correctly according to her queries. This involves replicating actions or patterns in gameplay to confirm that the data is being recorded correctly, or to find any issues.As a well established and proven member of the team, I have the responsibility of creating Design Documentation and following the designs through to implementation. I am also heavily involved in Design meetings, which allows for discussion of designs and ideas for upcoming developments, for both in-game and web features.My role has also expanded over the last few years to allow me to Project Manage some of our major projects, being thrown into the deep end with responsibility to meet tight deadlines and implement many of our earliest game features that interact with our Dovetail Live service, of which I have a proven record of success.Some of my proudest work in this role is the work I did to implement our Mastery system, Project Managing it's first iteration through to release, while establishing the names, targets and balancing this based on data and my general understanding of the games. I believe I perfected this in the game 'The Catch: Carp and Coarse'. Signing up for a Dovetail Live account and navigating to the Mastery page for that game will allow you to see this work. This can also be seen on our Mastery page in-game. Show less
