Hi, I'm Fernando Hashiba. I'm a Testing Specialist (Entry Level) focused on Manual QA and Game QA. I bring structured training in functional, regression, and exploratory testing, and I excel at writing clear, reproducible bug reports, building test cases, and keeping stakeholders updated in distributed teams. I enjoy troubleshooting by isolating variables, capturing evidence, and reporting results in a concise, actionable way. My experience spans EPAM's Playtesters program, QA practice projects for Aurora/GameTester, ORNL's HPC/AI/QC crash course, and freelance AI consultancy. I'm pursuing an MS in Computer Science with a data science track and am excited to apply QA skills in challenging software environments.…Hi, I'm Fernando Hashiba.
