Experience

Grow Credit

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.growcredit.prod&hl=en_US

Grow Credit is a financial inclusion platform enabling consumers to build free Credit. I was engaged in performing QA of the platform. Grow Credit is also the first company to allow consumers to use their subscription payments, including Netflix and Disney Plus, and their cell phone bills to build Credit, thanks to a virtual Mastercard exclusively dedicated to processing subscription payments. The company reports monthly balances to the major credit bureaus, enabling consumers to build Credit without accumulating more debt.

Invesco

http://www.invesco.com

Invesco is a global investment firm dedicated to creating greater possibilities for its clients. It has more than 8,400 dedicated people in over 26 countries, applying its passion, integrity, and expertise every day to solving clients' needs and finding new ways for them to realize their goals. This is why Invesco is trusted to manage $1.3 trillion of assets, giving its clients the confidence to work with size, scale, and stability partners. The project was about performing ETL on the vast data of an organization, and my job was to test ETL jobs on test data to ensure it would run smoothly on actual data.

Zameen.com

https://www.zameen.com/

I performed QA processes on the website for Zameen.com. The company was the brainchild of two British-Pakistani entrepreneur brothers, Zeeshan Ali Khan and Imran Ali Khan. Their mission was to make Zameen.com Pakistan's first and largest online real estate portal connecting buyers with sellers in and outside the country. It was founded in 2006 and has since revolutionized Pakistan's real estate industry by making it accessible and convenient for everyone. Zameen.com started its first round of funding in 2012, followed by significant investments closed in late 2015 and early 2016, bringing in $29 million.
