Nix Genco-Kamin

High Quality Quality Engineer

As a QA engineer, I use my creative and technical skills not just in my varied work history, but in my own life. I have a constant need to tinker and customize. With strong troubleshooting and interpersonal skills, I thrive on collaboration and self-improvement. When I'm not working, you can find me modding everything from games to the details of my Linux installs- the hobbies of a professional nitpicker.

Things I Can Do

Just a few skills I've picked up

  • Generate comprehensive testcases based on project requirements
  • Spot easily overlooked bugs and discrepancies
  • Create ruby and shell scripts to automate repeat tasks and increase efficiency
  • Quickly adapt to new information and technologies
  • Communicate testing requirements and scope in an easy to understand manner
  • Effectively utilize the command line on unix and unix-like operating systems

Portfolio

Here are a few projects I've worked on in my spare time!

batocera-switch (WIP)

Ongoing complete rewrite of original code to enable more emulation options for the Batocera Linux operating system. While this originally started in an effort to get the original code working on Batocera version 41, this project has turned into a complete rewrite and refactoring.
