Top SchoolAfzal Patel is a Senior Software Development Engineer based in Markham, Ontario with three years of hands-on experience building test automation, backend services, and analytics for stability and driver testing at AMD. He has progressed from co-op and automation roles into SDE2 and now Sr. SDE, contributing to large-scale testing infrastructure, NodeJS/MongoDB backends, and PowerBI reporting for test farms. Afzal also brings QA-focused open-source experience through contributions to the widely-used Spack package manager, where he implemented and improved tests for ROCm packages and integrated GoogleTest-based frameworks. Comfortable across Python, C++, Bash and web backends, he pairs practical ML and robotics project experience from university with production-grade engineering at a major silicon company. Notably, his background blends low-level driver testing with higher-level data reporting—helping teams turn noisy hardware stability signals into actionable insights.
