Mohammed Nihal
I'm a QA engineer. I test open source healthcare software that runs in hospitals across India, and I've been doing it for five years.
Now
SDE-II at eGov Foundation and core team at Open Healthcare Network.
Day to day I write Playwright end-to-end tests for CARE, migrate the older Cypress suites, keep CI fast, and help developers own the tests that guard their code.
Selenium → Cypress → Playwright. Formerly a Cypress Ambassador.

- 10BedICU Tele-ICU for rural government hospitals. Now connects 210+ district and taluka hospitals to medical college hubs.
- Parallel Cypress on GitHub Actions An article on how we cut test time at Open Healthcare Network.

Off the clock
I ride a Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 and travel solo with a backpack. Nineteen countries so far, most recently Brussels, Amsterdam, Edinburgh and London.
