Summary
Sergey Dikarev is a Quality Assurance leader with 13 years of experience building and scaling QA teams for AAA and mid-size game projects across North America and Europe. He has led teams of 25+ testers, created QA frameworks and workflows from scratch, and driven process improvements that cut regression turnaround and clarified acceptance criteria. As founder of QA Guys From Work he consults on QA staffing, training, and scope planning, while his hands-on background includes deep studio work at Blackbird, Relic, and EA. Sergey blends technical fluency (Swift, Unity, React Native, Python, node.js, AI) with pragmatic studio leadership—he’s equally comfortable configuring ADO/JIRA pipelines as mentoring testers and running studio-wide playtests. Based in Burnaby, he pairs an art-and-technical sensibility from 3D modeling training with a knack for translating creative needs into measurable QA outcomes.
