Began a new adventure with the Lost Boys Interactive team as a QA Lead, working with 2K Games on WWE2K22!

I joined the Scientific Games Interactive, Austin team in May of 2016. I was fortunate to be given an opportunity to build the Quality Assurance Team there from the ground up. QA at SciPlay, formerly SG Interactive tests our products across most major web browsers and across a wide variety of mobile platforms as well. As a team we got to work on ensuring the highest level of quality on our developed products. I was a part of 2 separate successful re-writes on one of the largest products in their portfolio (Gold Fish Casino Slots) and was fortunate enough to be there on day one of the studio in Austin opening up. I helped the studio grow from less than 10 people to a hundred!

My responsibilities at Intific, a member of the Cubic Global Defense family of companies, included multiple roles, one of which is management of the Quality Assurance (QA) Department. This role involved creating, defining, implementing, and enforcing all processes and procedures for the QA department, personnel management and allocation, working with key stakeholders to plan, budget for, and hire QA staff, managing and helping focus long term career goals for members of my team, and acting as a facilitator between QA and other departments. I was also responsible for assisting Business Development by planning and coordinating Product Demos both On Site and Off Site. Another position I held was Facility Security Officer (FSO) which involved a number of various security related duties, while holding an active Gov. Top Secret security clearance.

As the manager of the Quality Assurance (QA) Department at Intific, my 1st priority is to assure that the QA needs of each project in development are met, and exceeded when possible. My 2nd priority is to my team, where I have the privilege of hiring, orienting, training, guiding, and mentoring QA professionals, as well as assist them in achieving their short and long term career goals.
