Experience · 3 employers · 4 areas of focus · 3 CV tracks

5+ years in quality assurance.

I test software and content against written requirements, and I write up what I find so that someone else can check it. Most of that work was in games — FIFA at EA, Conan Exiles at Funcom — and most recently in content and data quality at TikTok. I have also completed cybersecurity and GRC programmes as preparation for a transition into junior GRC work.

Below is an overview of my roles, skills and education. Follow each role’s link for its responsibilities and examples.
