About
With over 8 years of experience in Quality Verification (QV) and QA Operations for Electronic Arts, I have contributed to 12 major projects across multiple game titles, progressively advancing from QA Tester I to Associate Development Manager. Seven of these projects involved leadership or management responsibilities, overseeing teams, processes, and live operations. I have built onboarding and training materials, created project tutorials, and served as the primary point of contact for new team members. I also supported recruitment by guiding entry- to mid-level interviews to align talent with project needs.
I am focused on strengthening my skills in analysis, process optimization, leadership, and people development to drive project success, operational excellence, and long-term growth for both the team and the product.
