About Christopher Nelson

I’m a Senior Quality Assurance Analyst with 25+ years of experience driving test strategy, team leadership, and hands-on QA execution across a wide spectrum of software—ranging from console games and indie titles to mobile applications, system firmware, and hardware validation.My career includes over a decade at SCEA/SIE where I led QA efforts for game titles and console platforms. I specialize in building and mentoring high-performing QA teams, defining test plans, and managing full-cycle testing in agile environments.I’ve since deepened my technical expertise with Unity (C#), Godot (GD Script), and shader scripting (GLSL ES 3.0), giving me insight into game engines and development workflows. I bridge the gap between creative, engineering, and QA—always championing the player experience and product quality.Tools & Technologies: Unity, C#, Godot, GD Script, GLSL ES 3.0, Jira, Wrike, TestTrack, ConfluencePlatforms: PlayStation, Android, iOS, PC, MacSpecialties: Test planning, bug triage, exploratory testing, automation collaboration, leadership, process improvement
