Focus - Lead QA and was responsible of overseeing a team of 2-3 other Quality Engineers. Was tasked with testing the and maintaining quality of the product for weekly releases to the client.


Summary - An educational mobile game targeted for children ages 2 and up, and developed for both Android and iOS. Created for the popular children's YouTube channel, CoComelon.

At the time of writing, the app included 25 activities including letter tracing, jigsaw puzzles, and sorting. In addition, a paid subscription and activity progress tracker (which was used to keep track of what activities were being played) was also implemented.

For this project I was the Lead QA and was responsible of overseeing a team of 2-3 other Quality Engineers

Media Literacy Lab's purpose was to provide learning material that focuses on media literacy in a narrative, story telling way.
