Welcome, I am Michael Gackle,
In the earliest days before I begun my development skills development. I had a small belief the characters in the games were real. As a kid that is normal!
​
Stalker Chernobyl, Far cry, Battlefield Vietnam and Crysis were 4 games that helped me find out what I wanted to become one day!
Far-cry presented a Sandbox that you could edit the actual levels of the game itself! I did not realize this till i tried to do the exact same thing again and failed.
Crysis and Battlefield Vietnam did the same things as well! But S.T.A.L.K.E.R? Nope! I just downloaded a mod and still was not satisfied with the carry capacity or the limits to what I could achieve in the level/game.
I was serious with STALKER and I tuned the mods to be just right! I jumped fences, learned about the levels development and other details which presented a a great learning opportunity for myself. But it yielded limitations to what I could work with. To modify the game I had to quit tune and reload!
​
During my younger years I enjoyed farming and other physical activity's! It was my life balance to be interested in games as well as farming. I barely go to the farm and so it's a rare experience! The farm I used to love going upto and relaxing now sold, my only opportunity to own a place like that is to deliver 110% of myself to whom ever gives me a chance to help the business shine!
​
Through my experience, I have learned of my heightened self awareness and how I pick up on my own skills, ability's, failures, successes and apply these to my day to day life.
​
I currently want to focus on being in a role for Quality Assurance, and my future plan is to build upon my skill and become better with my Programming, Art and other Design skills and capabilities.
​
For the past 10+ years I've had a strong goal when it came to working with games... And that was to fix what's broken. And over that 10 year period I reported multiple issues in games to which were either resolved or not addressed.
During 2021, I've looking into improving the QA pipeline and getting into the industry with confidence to do the work effectively with lower than standard risks of under performing.
I believe I can improve the current Bug testing's pipeline with various backend systems helping to micro manage tiring and tedious tasks of which would reduce workload, increases accuracy of reports and helps those with the skills to access things most suited to their discipline. It's a work in progress and requires real world experiences to validate and verify.
