about

ahlan wasahlan! i’m noorhan nader, i’m egyptian, i have two cats, and i’m an engineering graduate specializing in electronic and communications. i was inspired to pursue a career as a qa engineer because of how much fun it is to break stuff and find loopholes. i’ve been in tech for 10 years already, working and living in the netherlands for 3 of them. i am grateful to have grown in a family and community that supported me and helped me become who i am today, and i would be so happy if i could inspire even one person with this initiative!

what or who inspired you to pursue your chosen career?

the answer is mainly “who”, and i was lucky to have met all these people: first is my dad, i always wanted to grow up to become and engineer like him, he saw that and supported me through my education, college and my life in general. second is my older cousin who worked in tech in a multinational company, she used to speak about her job and i got to know more details about being a qa engineer before this job was as well-known as it is now. third is the first manager, and my friend now, i had as a junior who was such an innovative woman and a hard-worker, who also saw in me potential and worked to help me uncover it, she still inspires me till today with how she grows in her career. i would love to extend my love and gratitude to them for shaping who i am professionally, and to all the people in my life, my husband and friends and colleagues, who still support and inspire me to become a better version of myself.
