Professional Journey
I began my career as an Embedded Engineer, building a strong base in C++ and embedded systems. My internship at Valeo as a Validation Engineer sparked my interest in software testing, especially for automotive embedded software. This led me to focus on both manual and automated testing for web, mobile, API, and embedded systems. I also have expertise in performance testing, Agile methods, JMeter, and managing defects. With experience from Valeo and DEPI, I am skilled at delivering reliable, high-quality software ready for use.
Education
B.Sc. Computer & Systems Engineering
Ain Shams University, Faculty of Engineering (2018–2023)
  • Developed a robust foundation in software engineering, embedded systems, and comprehensive testing methodologies.
ADAS Safety System Project
My graduation project, an ADAS Safety System, was sponsored by Valeo. It successfully integrated IoT, embedded systems, and automotive safety, demonstrating my practical application of advanced theoretical knowledge.
Software Testing Diplome at DEPI
(June 2025 – Present)
At the Digital Egyptian Pioneer Initiative, Mahmoud actively applied Agile testing methodologies and ISTQB Foundation Level v4 concepts. His hands-on training encompassed a wide array of industry-standard tools and frameworks:
  • Java OOP for structured testing frameworks.
  • JUnit 5 & TestNG for comprehensive unit testing.
  • Postman & Rest Assured for robust API testing.
  • Selenium & Appium for dynamic web and mobile application testing.
  • Apache JMeter for critical performance testing.
Valeo
Embedded System Validation Intern
Valeo (2023 – 2024)
  • Analyzed software requirements using DOORS and designed comprehensive test cases for embedded automotive systems.
  • Executed, simulated, and analyzed test cases using CANoe to validate system functionality and communication performance.
  • Performed diagnostic validation ensuring compliance with automotive communication protocols (CAN).
  • Developed and automated test scripts using Victor Test Studio, integrating automation into the validation workflow.
  • Enhanced backend test framework code to improve validation efficiency and reduce execution time.
  • Conducted diagnostic and regression tests to verify system reliability and stability across software iterations.
  • Collaborated with cross-functional teams to integrate and validate software modules within complex embedded environments.
Advanced Technical Training

Comprehensive training in Embedded C, ARM Cortex-M, AUTOSAR, RTOS (OSEK), and essential communication protocols: SPI, CAN, LIN, UART, I2C. This fellowship deepened Mahmoud's understanding of automotive embedded systems.
Hands-on development of STM32 projects with FreeRTOS, focusing on multitasking, inter-task communication, semaphores, and mutexes. This training solidified his expertise in building real-time embedded solutions with robust software testing practices.
ADAS Safety Support System Project
This Valeo-sponsored project culminated in a comprehensive ADAS Safety Support System prototype, demonstrating the robust integration of IoT, embedded systems, and automotive safety for critical real-world applications.
Key features included:
  • Tire Burst Early Detection: Implemented with AVR Atmega-32 and sensor integration.
  • Automatic Cooling & IoT Monitoring: Enabled through a mobile application for remote oversight.
  • Parking Assistance: Utilising ultrasonic sensors for precise distance measurement.
Software Development Projects
Payment System (2025)
Developed an ATM and card transaction simulation by Java, showcasing object-oriented design and financial logic.
Student Grading System (2023)
Created a GPA calculator with full JUnit testing coverage, highlighting a commitment to robust, well-tested code.
DES Encryption Algorithm (2023)
Implemented the Data Encryption Standard in C, demonstrating an understanding of secure communication protocols.
These projects underscore his ability to apply testing and coding skills in real-world software scenarios.
