To whom it may concern,

I worked as a Tester and a Lead Tester at Electronic Arts Mobile, I had to create multiple Testplans for every aspect of the application and be sure it's properly tested for different platforms (i.e iPad, iPhone/iPod-Touch, Scrabble (Android) and Scrabble (Facebook). I also had to manage the time of my testers for the tasks of our Sprint and approve the application before the release date. I had to manage different environments of testing(i.e Development, Stage and Live Server) and work closely with the Producers and Programmers.

I also worked as a Tester at Budge Studio, I had to perform and create checklists and testplans for different platforms (i.e iPad, iPhone/iPod-Touch, Android). I had to find errors and communicate directly to the development team and enter them in to a Database. I also had to complete a checklist to certify the release of the application.

Also, I was a QA Tester on the social application Playrank, I had to create multiple Testplans for every aspect of the application and be sure it's properly tested. I also had to manage my time for the tasks and had to manage different environments of testing (i.e Development, Stage and Live Server). Since their team was in Vancouver and I was in Montreal i had to have great communication with the team to discuss issues and testing report.

I finished my internship at the Centre de Perfectionnement ENDI in Quebec, which completed my training at the Campus Ubisoft in Montreal in 3D animation. My training allowed me to master the software 3DS max and character animation.

At the ENDI Center, we had to finish a level of a game as a team, and I had to do character animation. During my internship I was teamed up with a mentor from a gaming company in Quebec. Ubisoft Quebec selected me to be teamed up with Caroline Lacasse, 3D animator who has worked for Ubisoft Quebec for over 4 years.

I received a week of enterprise apprenticeship at Ubisoft Quebec. I worked with my Mentor`s team on a production of a game which they had already started.

My mentor`s and producer’s comments were always positive and they said that I am able to adapt easily, listen very attentively and that I apply all their suggestions without hesitation to my work.

I am a very quick learner, as during my internship, I had to learn and understand in one week the Methodology SCRUM and the inner workings of the software Unity 3D. This methodology SCRUM confirmed my sense of priorities and my being able to work alone.

I am someone who enjoys challenges and results oriented. Also, I am a very hard worker and will work till the project is finished. To work a 12-13 hour day does not bother me and does not worry me. At my other job I worked 13 hours a day and 60 hours weeks.

Hoping that I will become a part of your team.

Thank you and it will be a pleasure to meet with you.
