Education University of Sussex 2018-2021 First-Class Honours (80%) BSc Games and Multimedia Environments Varndean College BTECs (equivalent to 3 A-levels) 2016-2018 Computer Games Development – Distinction* Business Studies – Distinction* IT – Distinction Certifications ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level Projects Test Automation Engineer – Risk Management and Mitigation System for the Access Group: I served as the Test Automation Engineer (QA) during the development of a Risk Management and Mitigation System for the Access Group from August 2022 to December 2023. We embraced an Agile methodology, working in two-week sprints. My role extended beyond testing, involving active participation in requirements gathering and estimation meetings. At the end of each sprint, I conducted demos for the product owners, showcasing our progress. In the testing realm, I employed Playwright to write and run API, Feature, and Visual tests on branch test sites, ensuring comprehensive coverage. I made it a point to read the developers’ React and C# files to understand their solutions, potentially highlighting any edge cases for further testing. Doing code reviews and providing feedback was part of my routine before accepting merge requests from other QAs’ automation. We also introduced load testing and feature flags to enhance the project’s robustness, stress-testing the product’s performance and providing dynamic control over feature visibility without code changes. Full Stack Development – Blockbuster Service: In the creation of a blockbuster-style service website using React and SQL, I managed the whole project, utilising a Sakila database for film-related data. A live React webpage hosted on Azure brought everything together where a MySQL database with C# API endpoints facilitated CRUD functionality. Rigorous unit testing, monitored through SonarCloud, and the integration of SpecFlow feature files ensured the project’s reliability. Git version control was instrumental in maintaining project integrity. Personal Development Projects: Outside my professional role, I’ve dedicated significant time to developing video games in C# Unity and C++ Unreal. Ranging from 3D first-person shooters to puzzle games, board games, and 2D games, these projects showcase my diverse skill set and creativity. Whether working independently or in a group, these endeavours have enriched my capabilities and provided a well-rounded experience.
