About Sam Hudson

I have been working for Activision for a little over 3 years now, starting as a contract tester. Within a year of starting, I got promoted to Senior QA Tester, and I have been one ever since. I have experience leading teams of various sizes through daily testing. I help create documents to find bugs, review bugs, and have created templates for writing up issues as well. I have successfully mentored a beginning tester to a Senior QA Tester position as well. At work, I have also been an Inclusive Game Design Ambassador for the past year and a half. I have researched and created documents for various projects as an IGD Ambassador. I have also been part of the ABK wide LGBTQIA+ leadership team, and have successfully lead two pride celebrations at the Austin Activision QA office. Last year, with collaborative efforts, I was able to get ABK into Austin Pride’s festival as a booth for the first time ever which greatly increased company visibility and showed ABK’s support of the Queer community. At my office I am also part of the Employee Engagement Committee and have helped collaborate and create various events in the office for my coworkers to celebrate and enjoy. Since working at ABK, I have worked on many COD games and gotten experience in many avenues. I could not do all of this without the amazing support of my coworkers, leadership (looking at you Adrian Ledda and Alayna Cole), as well as amazing managers (Jake Insinna especially).
