Vetted Functional Testing Professionals

“Engineering leader/player-coach who built and validated a preference-based recommendation engine using clustering, including generating test data to evaluate how clusters evolve over time. Has SRE/DevOps experience and has owned production incidents end-to-end (logging-driven RCA and refactoring patterns that failed at large data scale). Emphasizes quality and platform stability via unit, integration, and load testing, and has managed performance via regular 1:1s and PIPs.”

“Engineering manager/player-coach in the Alexa media ecosystem who led delivery of a Tier-1 gateway service enabling third-party providers (e.g., Spotify/Pandora) to control playback across users’ Echo devices, driving 10–15% lifts in engagement metrics. Deep in API design, AWS infrastructure choices (EC2 vs Fargate), OAuth/LWA auth flows, and production rigor (security reviews, load testing, feature-gated dial-ups), with demonstrated incident ownership and operational automation wins.”

“Game QA/automation tester with experience at Blizzard, Bossfight Entertainment, and Netflix, spanning manual-to-automation transitions, Selenium/C# UI automation, and CI/CD nightly reporting via TestRail. Known for an end-user-driven test strategy, strong defect isolation (including crash dumps), and cross-functional test planning that influenced multiplayer UX/design decisions.”

“Engineering leader/player-coach on a risk core transaction platform (payments/branded checkout) who led major migrations from a monolithic stack to microservices, including API contract redesign and performance improvements (reported ~500ms latency reduction). Experienced running high-stakes production incidents (upgrade-related outage/degradation) end-to-end with RCA and rollout-process changes, and has accelerated delivery via documentation/tooling (audit sign-off cycle reduced from ~3 sprints to ~1).”

“QA professional with experience at Google and Meta, focused on end-to-end functional/regression testing, disciplined bug reporting (including ADB logs), and release readiness via staging build promotion and gating on critical/high-priority issues. Emphasizes PRD-driven test planning, edge-case coverage (e.g., low connectivity/low battery), and thorough verification across build versions.”
