Bio
Graham Daley
Mahdi was an asset to the team at Ceros, it's hard to believe he was an intern. Mahdi is very detail oriented, whether it is discovering and reporting bugs with manual testing, or in his coding or reviews for automated testing. In the short time he was here he showed how quick a learner he is, his inquisitive nature, and always asking questions enabled him to become a valued contributor to both the cross-functional feature team and the QE team almost instantly. Mahdi worked in an Agile environment, created Acceptance Criteria and Test Plans for stories, ticketed bugs in Jira, approved stories, and liaised with other members of the team to ensure we released features to our expected levels of Quality. He contributed to migrating our Automation test suite, creating new tests, and triaging and fixing broken tests. It has been a pleasure to work with Mahdi, and I have no doubt he will be a future leader in whatever tech industry he enters. I would highly recommend Mahdi and hopefully, work with him again.
