QA Video Game Testing Projects

As a contractor, I have worked on-site (and remotely) for numerous secured testing labs in the Seattle metro area. My experience includes over eight years of Quality Assurance Game Testing for companies like Microsoft, Bungie, Nintendo, WB Games and Z2Live on the Xbox 360, PS3, PC, DS, DS Lite, DSi XL & 3DS platforms, as well as testing mobile gaming apps on the iPhone and iPad.

Testing conditions & responsibilities vary with each contract, but tend to be ~66% Manual Black Box testing + ~33% Grey Box testing. The amounts of console-testing, PC (Steam) based-testing and mobile apps varies by project, but my testing experience has been roughly 60% console: 30% PC/Steam: 10% Mobile App.

I also have over a year of experience as a "Sky Marshal": a Nintendo of America Tier 2 UGC Community Moderator / Social Media Administrator. I was a Sky Marshal for Miiverse - a kid-friendly online social space maintained by Nintendo.

Additionally, I had five months of holiday-season Tier 1 Email Tech Support experience at Runic Games. During that time, I assisted with QA Game Testing Support of their inbound tech support ticket issues.
