About

Professional summary

I am a Quality Verification Analyst with more than four years of hands-on experience improving software and game quality at Electronic Arts. I have contributed to annual AAA sports releases including NHL 23 and EA SPORTS FC 24 through FC 27.

I specialize in end-to-end test planning, functional and exploratory testing, regression-suite optimization, release readiness, and defect lifecycle management. I create actionable bug reports with clear reproduction steps, logs, and visual evidence.

I use Jira, TestRail, QMetry, Confluence, Postman, Bruno, and Power BI to manage test coverage, validate APIs, monitor quality trends, and communicate release risks. I work closely with developers, producers, engineers, and QA leadership to align priorities.

I have progressed internally from Tester 1 to QV Analyst and have experience mentoring and onboarding junior QA testers. I enjoy improving QA processes, strengthening documentation, and helping teams execute effectively during high-volume production milestones.

My background also includes strategic research, stakeholder communications, data processing, database integrity, and broadcast media production. These experiences have strengthened my analytical thinking, attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to perform under tight deadlines.
