Summary
QA engineer with six years in mobile and PC game testing — everything from cozy match-3 puzzles to old-school MMORPGs. I run full testing cycles from spec review to release sign-off, and about once a month I step in as acting QA Lead for a team of five. Relocated to Spain, open to remote roles, and ready to start right away.
Skills
• Manual testing: mobile, gameplay, UI, regression, smoke, positive/negative cases
• Analytics & event testing with Adjust and Redash
• A/B testing
• LiveOps, IAP and API testing
• Test documentation and coverage planning
• Filling in as QA Lead for a team of ~5 when needed
• Product quality control
• Picked up some Python, Java, C#, JavaScript and HTML along the way — helps me understand what's actually happening under the hood when I'm testing
Experience
BetterTest — QA Engineer (Outsourcing) | 2019 – 2026
Employed by BetterTest, a QA outsourcing agency, and assigned to game studio clients on mobile, PC, and console projects.
Client: Belka Games | 2022 – 2026
Top-15 mobile publisher in the EU by revenue, mostly casual and puzzle games — some titles pulling in 1M+ daily players.
Projects: Bermuda Adventures, Clockmaker, Train of Hope, Brilliant Sort, plus internal R&D builds — all mobile, iOS and Android.
• Read through specs and design docs before development even started, so vague requirements got caught early instead of mid-testing
• Tested new features, UI, in-game economy, push notifications, and third-party SDKs (ad networks, payment providers, analytics) on both iOS and Android before every release
• Built out TestRail suites by feature area, so regression could stay targeted instead of re-testing the whole app every time
• Checked analytics events against spec in Adjust and Redash — caught tracking bugs before they hit production and skewed the numbers
• Sat in on planning and release-readiness calls with producers, developers, and analysts, flagging risks before builds shipped
• About once a month, covered for the QA Lead — split tasks across the team, reviewed everyone's bug reports, made the release call
• Also tested web-based tools tied to the same project (admin/back-office panels), not just the mobile app
• Mentored and trained around 5 newer testers on the team — walked them through our test process, reviewed their early bug reports line by line, and helped them get up to speed faster
Client: Ravn Studio | 2021 – 2022
Captain Sabertooth and the Magic Diamond — 2D platformer for PC and Nintendo Switch, a family title based on the Norwegian film series.
• Tested platform mechanics, level progression, and build stability on both PC and Switch
• Ran functional and regression passes ahead of release
Client: Zordix Publishing | 2020 – 2021
Flåklypa, published by Zordix for PC/console.
• Functional and regression testing, bug reporting, release-readiness checks
Client: Gameforge | 2019 – 2020
Metin2 and Aion — long-running PC MMORPGs, live across European markets.
• Functional, regression, and localization testing for live updates
• Tracked and verified bugs through each patch cycle
