Lana Karapetyan

I’m a third-year Information Technology student at the National Polytechnic University of Armenia, currently building my skills across modern IT technologies. I’m especially drawn to software quality assurance, web development, and software testing.

In a Fullstack MERN Web Development Internship through WSA, I learned and practiced the MERN stack by building and working with small web application components. I used Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration, and I improved functionality through debugging.

I also contributed to GitHub open source work, including adding an “Add Your Card” feature and solving intermediate JavaScript issues. I strengthened security by enforcing strong password validation (uppercase, lowercase, number, special character) in a registration endpoint, working through pull requests and issue reviews.

Beyond coding, I work with bug tracking and test thinking—using Jira for issue creation, status management, attachments, and project setup. I’m currently learning API testing with Postman and exploring automated testing concepts on both Linux (Pop!_OS, Mint) and Windows.
