Cameron MacKinnon’s Summary

I have been in the video game industry for almost 12 years. Starting as a student looking for a summer job, I ended up finding a career.

Chronologically, I have worked on the following titles in a tester capacity:

NBA Live '98 (PS)
NBA Live '98 (Saturn)
Diablo (PS)
NBA Live '99 (PC)
Triple Play 2000 (N64)
NBA Live 2000 (N64)
Euro 2000 (PS & PC)
NBA Live 2001 (PS)
NBA Street (PS2)
SSX Tricky (PS2)
SledStorm (PS2)
FIFA 2003 (PS2)

I have worked on the following titles, chronologically, in a "test lead" capacity:

SSX3 (NGC/PS2/Xbox)
Fight Night 2004 (PS2/Xbox)
SSX On Tour (PS2/Xbox)
NBA Street Homecourt (PS3/Xbox 360)

I have worked on Turok (PS3/Xbox 360/PC) and an unannounced (but canceled) project on PS3 in a development support capacity.

I have experience using DevTrack and DevTest (from TechExcel), Sharepoint (Microsoft), TeamTrack (Serena), and both JIRA and Confluence (Atlassian) for both bug and task tracking.

Cameron MacKinnon’s Specialties:

My strengths lie in directly managing a testing team, although I do have experience in working with outsourced/external testing groups.
