Los Angeles, CA4y exp

“QA automation engineer with ad-tech domain experience (Prebid.js wrapper-based services) who built an end-to-end Python automation framework using Playwright to validate wrapper settings, auction request/response, and analytics payloads. Uses Jenkins-driven CI reporting and feature-categorized regression runs to quickly isolate revenue-impacting defects and coordinate fast fixes with developers.”

“Prudential solution architect/technical product owner with a strong blend of enterprise architecture, partner-facing API pre-sales, and analytics-driven optimization in insurance platforms. Stands out for supporting high-impact third-party onboarding efforts, building cloud/data solutions across AWS and Azure, and translating complex integration, security, and reporting requirements into partner-ready solutions.”

“Game QA professional who shipped AAA (Overwatch 2) as quality feature owner for Campaign missions, owning high-risk areas like mission progression stability and preventing soft-lock/state desync issues. Also shipped Stormgate and caught a critical Steam achievement integration failure near RC by recreating the issue in an anti-cheat, live-mirroring environment and driving it through fix + regression verification.”

“Experienced engineering leader from VC-backed companies who has represented the engineering organization directly to the board/investors, translating engineering and product status into concise, defensible updates. Familiar with investor expectations (high information density, rigorous Q&A) and motivated by joining early-stage efforts to drive outsized impact.”

“QA tester with hands-on experience supporting Duolingo’s large-scale, high-stakes releases across iOS, Android, and web.

“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 professional with Apple experience supporting the macOS Sonoma release, owning daily monitoring of submissions, crashes, regressions, and release verification across multiple OS/device builds. Notably isolated a memory-related issue in the Safari suite that caused an 18-hour build backlog and 156+ test crashes, leading to a Python-script fix that restored build times to ~1 hour and helped keep the release on schedule.”

“QA/automation engineer with experience at Riot Games’ player platform, owning E2E automation for mission-critical authentication/account flows using Playwright/JavaScript plus API automation. Built CI merge gates and nightly verification with Slack reporting, and repeatedly caught backend-driven session/authorization regressions before production.
