Software Engineer @ Mytona

About

I started my career as a manual QA tester and grew into a QA automation lead, gaining solid experience in testing game projects. Over time, I transitioned to developing automated test systems that simulate player behavior and cover complex game mechanics and balance checks. I work with Lua, C++, and Python to build flexible and effective automated tests for cross-platform games (iOS, Android, UWP, Samsung). I focus on improving test coverage, ensuring game stability, and streamlining the QA process. Passionate about game development and continuously improving my skills in both automation and programming.
