Hi, I'm Raisa Islam Aishy.
A
Aspiring software engineer with a passion for machine learning and AI.
About
I am a fourth-year Electrical and Computer Engineering Student at University of Toronto. I am self-motivated, a fast learner and I work well independently as well as in a team. I have 16 months of profressional work experience as a Software Developer in Test (QA) Intern which helped me strengthen my experience in scripting with Python, SQL, Java and automation frameworks like Playwright. I have experience with Python, C/C++, Java, PostgreSQL, HTML, CSS and introductory knowledge of machine learning and deep learning algorithms. I am passionate about artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in the world of automation.
- Languages: Python, Java, C/C++, HTML/CSS
- Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL
- Libraries: NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, Matplotlib
- Frameworks: Node.js, PyTorch, Playwright
- Tools & Technologies: Git, JIRA, MATLAB
Looking for an opportunity to work in a challenging position combining my skills in Software Engineering, Machine Learning and QA Automation.
Experience
- Performed manual and automation tests for both UI and backend microservices & prepared test plan documentation.
- Developed Python scripts utilizing Jenkins automation pipelines and Excel VBA macros to automate report generation and summary email draft which increase automation usage from about 20% to 85% and made the process 75% quicker.
- Upgraded automated testing infrastructure by rewriting 9 existing Selenium tests to Playwright using Java and TestNG in IntelliJ.
- Facilitated with new intern onboarding every 4 months by conducting and documenting knowledge transfer sessions.
- Tools: Python, Java, TestNG, Playwright, PostgreSQL,
- Provide 1-on-1 tutoring for elementary school to high school students in Math and Physics.
- Use an inquiry-based approach to facilitate learning and promote critical thinking in students & worked through the student's problems using collaborative efforts, and hands-on learning.
- Conducted data analysis on anonymous past sessions transcripts to highlight key features of the conversation using LabelBox.
- Reviewed and accessed the sessions following a rubric of questions to find what methods or practices help contribute to better student experience.
- Tools: LabelBox, Slack
