Welcome!
Hi, I'm Victoria Li
Biomedical Engineer w/ Software Background
About Me
Back in 2019, I recreated one of my favourite Messenger games in my high school
computer science class using Java. Since then, I've decided to pursue Engineering
at the University of Waterloo, and I am set to graduate in May 2024 with my
Bachelors of Applied Science.
My past software co-ops have provided me with experience in designing, developing, fixing, and
testing code. Working on products that are being used in the real world, I've learned the importance of
writing clean code and thorough testing to ensuring high-quality deliverables and releases.
Embracing a growth mindset, I actively pursue new technologies and have been eager to jump on new projects
and take on challenging tasks.
Coop Experience
- Implemented Gradle files in Java and Docker images which isolated security-related microservices from other application services to build a reusable lightweight component of our security interface
- Revised legacy Python 3.0 clean up scripts to guarantee the deletion of sensitive patient data in SQL databases in compliance with privacy standards
- Participated in daily stand-ups and agile sprints to work collaboratively with the software development team using Jira
- Participated in code reviews and technical discussions to ensure a high-quality product that is user-friendly
- Performed regression review for major releases by analyzing and debugging system tests to determine the root cause of failure and identifying potential bugs in code
- Utilized Pytest and JUnit to test new features of the application following the software development life cycle
- Made use of fixtures to use multiple test cases, including edge cases with happy and unhappy path testing
- Identified failing unit tests written in Java using the Mockito framework and collaborated with team members to troubleshoot and fix the unit tests
- Automated tests for web browser application using Selenium WebDriver with various screen sizes, browsers, and media types, ensuring greater code coverage
- Became proficient with writing test cases in Python using element locators, selectors, XPath, etc.
- Conducted unit, regression, capture traffic, and plugin testing (both manual and automated) for the browser application
- Worked with developers to ensure features are properly tested and they work as expected
- Used Python and various libraries such as Scrapy to write a script to extract and save website traffic events into a PostgreSQL database using Linux
- Wrote complex SQL queries to identify duplicate files using their hash values in a large dataset.
- Created a proof of concept using Java to automate business rules by leveraging RESTful APIs to simplify business decisions
- Self-taught and took IBM certified courses in various business automation courses, including UiPath
