I’m Umar Waqar, a final-year Cybersecurity student at Riphah International University with hands-on experience in manual testing and a focus on building secure, reliable software. Interned as a QA Engineer at Payactiv SDS-IT, I specialize in multiple testing types to ensure quality, security, and functionality in each software release.In my role at Payactiv SDS-IT, I conduct various types of manual testing, including functional testing, smoke testing, and regression testing, to identify potential vulnerabilities and ensure smooth user experiences. Collaborating closely with the development team, I’m responsible for detailed test case design, execution, and reporting, enabling a continuous feedback loop for quality improvement.My cybersecurity background enhances my QA work, as I approach each testing scenario with a security-conscious mindset. Previously, I gained valuable experience as a Penetration Tester Intern at OffensioX, where I assessed security vulnerabilities, performed risk assessments, and contributed to strengthening digital defenses.With certifications like Certified in Cybersecurity and Security Governance & Compliance, I am proficient in tools such as Nmap, Burp Suite, and Wireshark and familiar with industry standards like OWASP and MITRE ATT&CK. My combined experience in quality assurance and cybersecurity positions me uniquely to support secure software development.As I prepare for graduation, I’m excited to explore full-time opportunities in manual testing and cybersecurity where I can contribute to delivering high-quality, secure software solutions.
