ABOUT SIMON KENT
An ambitious and results-oriented Quality Assurance professional with a career defined by navigating game development. I thrive in high-pressure environments that demand both expert level knowledge and a strategic approach to risk management.My skills have been refined and honed with over 6 years of experience across iconic franchises like Halo, Fable, Forza Motorsport and Minecraft via game launches and creating media assets of the highest level contributing to over 20 million players at launch and 50 million views on media assets. Alongisde this I have also supported production involving high profile testing where I anticipates dependencies before they become delays via sprint planning between disiplines and teams. My approach goes beyond simple bug tracking; I focus on the overall production of the pipelines i\'m involved in, having successfully established company-wide QA frameworks and standardized onboarding programs that accelerated sprint velocity and reduced rework. My background in Quality Assurance & Production provides a unique lens for quality, ensuring that every build is not only stable but also delivers a premium experience for players and development teams alike. I am a dedicated advocate for Agile & Scrum, utilizing tools like Jira and Azure DevOps to drive transparency and cross-functional synergy while inkeeping with ease of use and access.I am now seeking a Mid-to-Senior level role in QA or a start in Production where I can take the reins of project deliverables, mentor talent, and ensure that the final product reaches its full potential
