Who I Am
Passionate about quality, driven by excellence, and committed to delivering exceptional software
My Journey
As a final-year Software Engineering student at FAST National University Islamabad, I've developed a passion for ensuring software quality through comprehensive testing methodologies and best practices.
My journey in software quality assurance began with a curiosity about how to build robust, error-free applications. This led me to explore various testing domains, from manual and automated testing to performance and usability evaluation.
Beyond testing, I've expanded my skills to include full-stack development with the MERN stack, allowing me to understand the development process from both the creator's and tester's perspectives.
Through leadership roles in university societies and professional experiences, I've honed my ability to collaborate with diverse teams, manage projects effectively, and deliver results that exceed expectations.
