I'm excited to announce that I've started a position working at Blizzard as a Senior Software Engineer on the World of Warcraft team!!
I'm super happy for this next step in my career. Here are some of my fondest memories in the Blizzard universe that led me to this moment π±βπ»
My name is Ana, I am a Lead Software Engineer on the WoW team.
Originally from Mexico City, I officially started my game dev career at Blizzard in 2020.
I love the creativity and hard technical challenges that go into creating amazing virtual worlds.

Meet Nora Valletta, Lead Software Engineer on WoW Classic βοΈ
βWhen World of Warcraft launched in 2004, I knew I had to dive in and play. What I discovered was not only a fun video game, but also a vibrant community of kind and passionate players.
The connections I made back
I feel very honored to be part of the WoW team. If you were at BlizzCon and got to play the Season of Discovery demo, I hope you got to meet some of the awesome people who make Classic happen.
Also, I hope you got to beat them in Mak'goras and got some pretty sweet reward π
βοΈMaster of Science in Computer Science with Distinction
I'm so excited for finishing my studies. Juggling a full time job and school was challenging at times but I'm super happy I've graduated. I feel really luckyβ¦
Happy birthday
@Healingstat
!! I'm really proud for all the hard work you've done for WoW esports. On and off camera bringing new diverse faces and making it more accessible for people that don't speak English. Can't wait to celebrate together!! π€π
The Classic team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer. We have so many cool plans on the horizon. Come level your irl engineer profession with us!
About my BlizzCon jacket. I wanted to create one with an Alextrasza theme for our fans. I was connected with the magical Wanda at Renegade Effects Group. I gave our queen's images to her and she crafted the design and leather & velvety jacket!

I am so ecstatic that I was able to go on stage to share all the things Classic we have been working on. Agree with Josh
@ClaytonStone
has been such a big point of support for the team. I feel honored to have done several interviews with him over the weekend.

@ClaytonStone
on the right there. He was the unsung hero of this presentation, helping us prep, organize the content, make it look great, and make sure we were primed for success. Thanks Clay!
Two weeks ago I participated in my second Regional Irish dance competition (Oireachtas). I feel super excited with all the progress I've made. And also I feel super happy for all my new friendships. π
Season of Discovery Phase 2 is just days away! Visit this link for a sneak peek of what is to come. I am incredibly proud of the work of the Classic Team!
@EiyaWoW
When I started getting more involved in WoW PvP, I would play with streamers. Every single chat: "You will lose for playing with a woman".
@WoundmanTV
&
@benjiown
would always treat me just as any other player, and would respond: "I play with her cause she is really good"
Had a lot of fun at Oireachtas this year (irish dance regionals). Many supportive friends cheered on me! I am so grateful that I found this art and that I get to perform at this level.
From being an intern to my first job out of college, I've grown so much during my time at Microsoft. I've decided it's time for a new adventure and have left my team at OneNote. I will miss so much from working for one of the biggest companies in the world.
More to share soon!
Our team is the best for sure!! If something is certain it is I never thought I would be having Loatheb Spores as a snack. I love my team and how creative they are. Thank you for making me feel so welcome!
Itβs Wrath! A big land with ice. It has the dknights! Canβt imagine a more beautiful thing.
Itβs Wrath! I can tell you all about it. I mean look at this thing!
Playing Wintergrasp today was so much fun! Thank you everyone that participated!
Really proud of all the work the Classic team has put into this expansion!
Weβre looking for a Senior or Mid Software engineer to join the WoW Classic team. Engineers in our team get to work in many different areas of engineer development, UI, gameplay, server. And you will get to work with amazing people.
From being a player, to

I'm SUPER happy to announce that today I start my full-time employment at Blizzard HQ rejoining the

Esports team here in California. π
Thank you very much for the birthday wishes. I had a really exciting time. We got to retrieve the broom that was stolen and scaped the room. Also got to eat yummy cheesecake that
@Healingstat
and me made!
Happy international irish dance day! Me practicing for Oireachtas (regionals) last year. I love irish dance and I want to keep dancing forever. βοΈβοΈ

It is really sad that there are close to none women players in top esports events. And the main problem is the community it self. For being a successful women in games you have to be pretty, smart and good. And better than any other girl cause feels like the can only be one.
Had fun yesterday playing 3s with
@UB_Aiden
and
@Healingstat
. Here a clip deathing blind :). I saw the resheep was interrupted so I predicted they would want to blind to continue the chain of cc. :) not last night bro!
If you want to hear more details about what the Classic team is working on come watch me and other members of the team talk about it at the βWoW Classic: What is Next ? β Panel at 3:30 PT
@Healingstat
I'm so proud of all you have accomplished and how much you grew during your time at Blizzard. I saw how hard you worked and it showed during this years awesome WoW esports program.
@kellyjeaaann
I would be more concerned by kids watching streamers s* talking women. Than watching women that show less skin than magazines. These kids are watching their idols misstreating women.
CLASSIC ARENA IS NOW OPEN βοΈ
Details here β¬οΈ
Stay tuned for more information about the Classic Arena Tournament coming *very* soon π

@Healingstat
So many things have changed in these last 9 years, on the other hand, some things stay the same like us being together and more importantly the Hilton lobby's chairs.
@Healingstat
Is also good to take a day off you have been doing so much :). Can't wait to see you tomorrow do an awesome job in the tournament again!!!
@EiyaStats
I'm really proud of her it takes guts to do this job. I think the best for now is ignore hateful comments I'm sure with the time they will die out :).
