Sega
QA & Localisation Technician
My current position at SEGA sees me working within a team that rigorously tests some of the bestselling video games for multiple platforms. Due to the nature and reputation of the company, when testing some of its most notable titled games such as Alien: Isolation� and Football Manager there is an extra pressure for high standards to be consistently met. This demands proficiency, commitment and a �can do� attitude. Whilst my main duty is to test Spanish localisation, ensuring the quality of the titles by following test scripts, maintaining the bug data base, proofreading and translating, I also carry out Compliance and Functionality testing, meaning I meticulously ensure that the correct use of naming conventions for different platform holders have been upheld and that the games run properly and with no major errors.

Exploratory testing was also performed, whilst managing bug regression and the upkeep of the database.
