Who I Am

From Biology
to Software Quality

I started my academic journey with a degree in Biology Education from New Valley University — then made a bold career shift that led me to discover my true passion: making software better.

Through Cairo University's postgraduate Software Engineering Diploma, I built strong foundations in SDLC, UI/UX design, and software analysis. I then joined the Ruwwad Al-Raqmiyoon digital pioneers program, specialising in Software Testing — and haven't looked back since.

I bring the analytical mindset of a scientist to every test cycle: systematic, detail-oriented, and always asking "what could go wrong?"
