Utomik

Quality Assurance

I mainly only did simple tasks back when I was a kid, and when my study made me very busy, I tended to still only do those simple tasks, with the most simple of those being to test new games to the platform from my laptop at home. Utomik has an algorithm that splits the games up into downloadable chunks, and by playing them a bit at home, I'm teaching the algorithm which chunks of the game need to be loaded in first, so that the Utomik player base only needs to download a little chunk of the game and can immediately start playing, rather than having to wait for several gigabytes. If the games happened to act up in any way, I'd still have to report it, and give a very detailed description of how I found the issue, and how to reproduce it, along with any documents I could find that could help them, like company specific files, and the game's crash logs, if it had any. This has made me quite good at giving detailed reports over the years. It has also let me try out a whole lot of different games' first hour or two, so I have a lot of titles to draw inspiration from when thinking of new gameplay concepts.

False Positive Testing

I've also done some other QA work, like false positives testing; making sure that the most popular antivirus applications don't think the game is some type of malware. This has taught me how to work with remote desktop, and given me a good handle on professional documentation, or at least how it goes within this company.
