Bio
Chris Rathjen
We asked Ethan to contribute in several roles during his internship at Xaviant: 1. QA intern: Test features in development, effectively report defects, give actionable feedback. Ethan's passion for gaming served him well in this role. 2. Engineering intern: Create automated and tool-assisted tests. Ethan showed a strong interest in delivering effective and maintainable automation. It's easy to fall into a trap of writing too many tests with a high recurring/ongoing cost, so I was pleased to see Ethan already thinking about the total cost of a test. 3. Technical Community Coordinator: Ethan was our first point of contact on both our internal and Steam community forums, and was the primary support contact for our Tech Support sub-forums. Ethan regularly demonstrated tenacity in solving customers' problems and escalating to the project team when needed. His contribution is a significant component in creating a strongly positive reaction in the Steam Early Access community to our first game (Lichdom:Battlemage) and the company.
