Ananya Das

M.S. in Computer Science at UCSC · SDET/Test Automation Architect · Summer Intern at Inovalon · Shell India Markets Pvt. Ltd.
Hello! It's great to meet you. I am a seasoned DevOps professional with over five years of experience in developing software productivity tools and specializing in automation testing. I recently completed my Master's in Computer Science from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering with a focus on Systems domains.

I have a keen interest in building comprehensive automation frameworks for web and mobile applications, as well as crafting tools to enhance the functionality of various web and mobile platforms. During my Master's program, I interned with Inovalon in their Pharmacy team as a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET). My role primarily involved developing automation frameworks for their web applications and improving modules for API automation.

I am also deeply committed to contributing to my alma mater. I continue to engage with the Computer Society of India, a group I led during my undergraduate studies, which motivates CS sophomores and juniors to engage with open-source projects and discover their niche in technology

Outside of technology, I embrace a well-rounded lifestyle by exploring interests beyond my professional field. Since relocating to the U.S., I have developed a passion for cooking, relishing the challenge of experimenting with simple ingredients and diverse cuisines. Additionally, I have recently taken up oil painting and am an avid enthusiast of productivity and minimalism, constantly exploring new methods to cultivate a balanced and mindful life.
