• Jr. QA Analyst

  • Nov 2019 - Jul 2021

  As QA employee No.1, I built our QA department from the ground up, establishing strong testing standards, streamlining processes, and building a foundation grounded in reliability, consistency, and innovation. — Standardized processes for feature and bug testing, leading to a 50% drop in regression bugs and 25% increase in new feature/product work during sprints.— Tested hundreds of bug and feature tickets which prevented critical defects from going into production. This saved the company an estimated $1.8 million over the course of one year.— Established agile workflows in JIRA and Zephyr Scale, leading to the creation and execution of hundreds of test plans.— Created several company-wide bug reporting processes that substantially cut down on noise/disruption and reduced repetitive bug reports by 90%.— Created guidelines and templates for feature specs, improving ticket-to-ticket consistency, increasing the efficiency of test plan writing, and reducing the overall QA testing lift.— Built and organized a master document identifying over 900 test plans needed to achieve end-to-end regression coverage of our platform. The spreadsheet will be used to guide manual and functional test writing for the foreseeable future.— Lead QA on major infrastructure projects including site redesigns, a video player migration, IAB-compliant ad unit modernization, a platform-wide network and server migration, and a core web vitals performance overhaul.

Discovered 60 bugs over the course of three weeks, 50% of which were critical fixes.— Designed and coded dozens of newsletters, newsletter templates, and custom newsletter advertisements in SendGrid that generated over $100,000 in revenue.— Built an SEO content strategy for the battle royal game Fortnite which generated over 100K unique pageviews per week and 3.9 million over a six-month period.— Directed and managed all Brand and QA efforts during commerce tentpole events (i.e Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday), contributing to the generation of revenue averaging over 230% growth YoY.— Created and edited over 100 videos and looping videos, leading to 20+ million impressions across social media and traditional content channels.
