About the Speaker
Muhammad Haris Irfan is a highly decorated Software Quality Assurance (SQA) professional, academician, and mentor based in Karachi, Pakistan. A Senior SQA Automation Analyst at Contour Software — a subsidiary of global conglomerate Constellation Software Inc. — Haris joined the organisation in July 2021 as an SQA Trainee and over five years built a distinguished career as a recognised specialist in Playwright, developing scalable automation frameworks for web and mobile platforms and serving as an In-House Trainer for API Automation across Contour's three-city offices.
In 2025 he received the prestigious 'Champion of Champions' award for leading employee referral initiatives across Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, capping a trajectory that also included a 3-Year Tenure Award in December 2024. An equally accomplished academic, Haris graduated from Mohammad Ali Jinnah University (MAJU) with an MS in Software Engineering, earning a Bronze Medal for 3rd position in the FA22 batch with a 3.75 CGPA while consistently appearing on the Chancellor's (4.0), President's (3.9), and Dean's (3.78) Honor Rolls.
Outside industry, he is deeply committed to bridging the gap between the tech sector and universities — joining FAST-NUCES as a Visiting Lecturer in early 2026, with prior roles at SZABIST and MAJU, and regularly serving as an FYP Evaluator for graduating engineers. He holds an extensive portfolio of international certifications including ISTQB® CTFL, Certified Scrum Master (CSM®), Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104), Azure AI Engineer Associate (AI-102), and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and has received Contour Software's Industry-Academia Collaboration Award for three consecutive years (2022, 2023, and 2024).
At Jinnah League '23, his session on Playwright Automation with .NET gave students a practitioner's window into professional-grade test automation and CI/CD pipeline integration.
