Senior QA Leader specializing in AAA games, XR platforms, and backend systems

Los Angeles, CA7y exp

“Game/interactive software QA professional with experience spanning AAA titles (Activision Black Ops 3; Halo 4/Forge) and VR at Meta (The World Beyond). Notable for modernizing QA operations at Lego BrickLink Studio by implementing Testmo and dramatically increasing test coverage and user satisfaction, plus quickly diagnosing and unblocking a critical public-launch issue caused by misconfigured gatekeeper flags.”

“QA automation engineer with experience at Amazon Game Studios owning an end-to-end automated scale testing suite that simulates high-concurrency gameplay and captures performance telemetry. Improved coverage by bypassing hours of gameplay via programmatic state setup, enabling repeatable 4000-player dungeon-entry tests that exposed a messaging-queue bottleneck fixed before release. Also built maintainable Selenium/pytest UI automation with CI gating, reporting, and flake-reduction patterns.”

“QA automation engineer who built and maintained a Selenium WebDriver + Java hybrid framework (data/keyword-driven) using POM, TestNG, and Maven, and integrated it into CI with PR gating and nightly regression. Strong focus on stabilizing flaky tests (wait strategies, locator robustness, test data control) and caught a critical UI/backend mismatch that could have caused duplicate money transfers before release.”

“Quality professional with QC technician and QA experience across medical devices and pharmaceutical manufacturing (contract and direct hire). Has hands-on experience preventing shipping/packaging/labeling defects by tightening work instructions and documentation, and driving investigations/CAPA using 5 Whys and tools like TrackWise and DocuSign. Comfortable commuting to Beverly Hills and targeting $40–$50/hr.”
