After graduating college, I began my career as a QA Tester, where I developed a strong foundation in software testing, bug reporting, and quality assurance processes. Through dedication and a focus on continuous learning, I quickly advanced to Lead QA Tester, taking on responsibilities such as mentoring junior testers, creating test plans, and coordinating testing efforts across teams. As I deepened my technical expertise, I transitioned into more technical roles, leveraging tools like Microsoft Visual Studio, JIRA, and platform-specific SDKs to debug and optimize games across multiple consoles. My passion for quality and leadership led me to Senior QA roles, where I spearheaded complex testing initiatives, improved QA workflows, and ensured compliance with platform certification requirements. Eventually, I progressed to QA Manager, where I now oversee entire QA departments, manage cross-functional teams, and drive strategic initiatives to deliver high-quality products on time. This journey reflects my commitment to growth, technical excellence, and leadership in the gaming industry.
