WHAT DO YOU DO?
I make sure customers get best outcome from what he/she paying for by ensuring quality of software products.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS FIELD?
During my school days I didn't have any idea to choose software industry related career, but one advertisement which I saw in a news paper changed my mind. So I started to do a Science degree and majored in Information Technology.
During my final year research project, I provided my input as software developer as well as quality assurance engineer to the project. During that time I noticed that I am doing better in the quality assurance part than the development part. That was the first time that saw my self as Software Quality Assurance Engineer. After that I decided to move forward in that career path.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT & THINK, "I WISH YOUNGER ME WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS POSSIBLE?"
I wish I knew about this area of being an Application Engineer focus on software quality assurance when I started my bachelors degree. So that I could have had more time to explore software quality assurance.
But I am happy and satisfied with my present situation and what I have achieved through out this journey up to now.
