  • Jan 2019 - Present

  Initially, my new role included crossover with some of the later released titles from my previous role, but I also took on greater project management responsibilities and less QA related work for the sunset of The Bard's Tale IV: Director's Cut. As I moved on to Wasteland 3, my role was transitioned entirely into a Production role that included my previous platform release management roles. Agile product management methodologies, specifically in Jira and Excel, became life. Also at this time, I became the Accessibility Champ for our studio and worked with the UI team to navigate and implement the new laws for the release of Wasteland 3. Though I work with all other departments constantly (since we are a smaller studio, our producers are always managing multiple disciplines), I did find a love in UI and continue to work as our UX/UI/Accessibility manager to this day.Titles for the Assoc.

• QA Specialist / Project and Release Management

  • Jun 2017 - Jan 2019

  I’ve been lucky enough to work on almost every title that inXile has shipped since 2017 – worked up from QA into Production. I started as an in-house contract QA tester in 2017 and began taking on Full-Time QA and Release Management roles by Jan 2018 for ports. Duties included in-house testing and management of the contract QA teams, localization, and 3rd party developers as well as storefront set up, achievements, and platform compliance release management for below titles across Microsoft, PlayStation, Nintendo, Steam, and GOG. During this time I was also a "product expert" for those titles and would field questions with the customer service dept, wrote the manual for The Mages Tale VR Steam page, and helped put together The Bard's Tale IV: Barrow's Deep walkthrough.inXile Titles in these roles included:- The Mages Tale VR- Bard’s Tale IV: Barrows Deep- The Mage’s Tale (Vive and PSVR ports)- The Bard’s Tale ARPG: Remastered and Resnarkled (PS4 and Vita ports)- Wasteland 2 (Switch port)- The Bard’s Tale Trilogy (PC remaster/port)- Wasteland Remastered (PC remaster/port)- The Bard’s Tale ARPG: Remastered and Resnarkled (Switch port) Show less
