I am Rizza, a Senior Software QA Engineer/Team Lead and I manage the automation testing for some online systems. I am also keen on creating software, websites, and online systems. I am interested in filmmaking, dressmaking, and tailoring. The crafts I create are deeply rooted in the need for recycling. I advocate for more women in STEM industries. I join charity events on my free time.
Computer Science is a field which continues to evolve and applications of which have become quite extensive. I am greatly interested in learning and discovering areas which will find computer innovation useful. I believe there is an endless list of possibilities through the use of technology as it is a very powerful tool and I am looking forward to finding ways of improving life with the use of the cutting-edge processes we have today and hopefully, build a much better future.
