Hiya, I'm Farzanah, our Quality Assurance Analyst and jack of all trades here at ITPI!

My job is to test our products straight from the developers before sending them to the public so they can be as user friendly and accessible as possible. I also help with student attendance and anything that needs doing.

As expected from a physics major, I spend a lot of time in blanket burritos getting lost in my fictional books. I watch Wall-E too often and also love midnight baking wherever I can!
