Disney Interactive

• Associate Producer

  • Aug 2011 - May 2014

  My responsibilities in this position relate mostly to team organization and project management. I am responsible for ensuring that my assigned games are submitted on schedule. To facilitate this I work with the development team to clear obstructions that keep them from completing their tasks. I also prioritize and assign work while working with QA to stay on top of the current issues within our games. I manage our bug database (Attlasian JIRA). I run stand ups, attend and contribute to brainstorming meetings, maintain burndown chart, and provide builds of WIP games to interested parties. I report all activity and progress on my games on the company-wide file sharing software for visibility purposes. Show less

• QA Tester

  • Oct 2010 - Aug 2011

  My responsibilities involved the finding, reproducing and categorizing of "bugs" and code defects in games. I worked with the engineering team to ensure bugs and defects were fixed. While playing through and testing games I would report my findings to a Producer who would then pass them along to programmers. I also wrote test plans in order to speed up and make more efficient the testing process.

• QA Tester

  • Sep 2009 - Jul 2010

  While at LucasArts my responsibilities were structured around the finding, reproducing, and cataloging of bugs. I would do this through free style destructive testing and through structured test plans. Once found, bugs were entered in to the database using the Devnet software. Also, I had experience providing feedback testing as well as some exposure to compliance standards.
