Bazz has worked across Localization and the Games Services industry for almost 15 years, mostly with Keywords Studios in LQA within the gaming space. Coming from a step further down the Localization production cycle, he can add a different perspective on quality, when its parameters have already been defined and submitted by others, and we have less expertise, control, or influence over the final output. Bazz has a firm understanding of the pressures and pain points of working within a competitive environment, and ultimately being accountable for the quality of the output of a 200-strong Testing department.
