Hi, I'm Noor,
a Software Developer in Test.
I am passionate about building high-quality software and creating exceptional user experiences. I specialize in backend testing and automation, and I am always looking for new challenges to grow my skills.
Ensuring Quality through Engineering Excellence
I am a detail-oriented and results-driven Software Test Developer with a strong foundation in computer science. My expertise lies in backend testing, where I ensure the reliability and scalability of applications through rigorous quality assurance practices.
I am proficient in various testing methodologies, including manual and automated testing, API testing, and performance testing. I strive to close the gap between dev and operations by creating self-healing, maintainable test suites.

Featured Projects
A selection of software development and test automation projects I have designed, built, and executed.
Learners of Knowhere
Capstone project based on career counseling for students who just graduated from high school so that they make well-informed choices on the programs they study in universities/colleges. The project was built using MEVN (MongoDB+ExpressJs+VueJs+NodeJs). The codebase and the demo will be available upon request. This project was important to me because I was trying to solve a problem I faced in my first year as a Computer Science student. Despite having limited access to a computer before joining Acadia University, I still decided to pursue computer science and I felt that I could have prepared better by learning about the courses prior to starting classes
