Malik.
Software Quality Engineer
Quality Engineering · Test Automation · Cloud Technologies
I’m a quality-focused engineer with 10+ years across software development, cloud infrastructure and quality assurance. I help cross-functional teams build reliable products through pragmatic automation, thoughtful testing and a continuous-improvement mindset.
02 The story behind the work
Engineering quality from both sides of the build.
I began my career in Pakistan as a software engineer, working on client projects and a big-data analytics platform. That foundation taught me what strong delivery looks like from inside the codebase - and sparked a lasting interest in cloud systems, infrastructure automation and dependable releases.
After moving to Germany for my Master’s degree, I worked alongside my studies in e-discovery and connected-device testing. Today at Uhlmann Pac-Systeme, I bring that full perspective to software quality: partnering with developers, product owners and operations teams to make complex systems easier to trust.
