Bio
Maxim Mizin
I have worked with Iakov for 10 years in Blizzard and he has shown himself as a capable and invested colleague. As a tester, Iakov demonstrated great attention to detail, excellent knowledge of Localization and Localization QA as well as of Russian language. In addition to regular daily work, he took lead on organization and coordination of testing process for several milestones on projects such as Diablo 3. He has also contributed to design and support of internal localization tools for the whole team and has become a go-to specialist for one of the main ones. Iakov does not shy from delving into unknown knowledge areas and projects and learning new things. As a project manager, he was instrumental in driving and documenting several initiatives related to standardization of global localization QA operations worldwide in our company recently. I really appreciate Iakov’s support, extensive knowledge of testing and localization, and ability to notice things that many others may miss.
