Experience

Developer, Co-op

CGI · Toronto, ON

Moved from quality engineering into development on the same payments platform I tested at TCS, building Spring services and OpenAPI contracts for a major Canadian bank.
Details
- Rejoined the enterprise payments platform I tested at TCS, moving from quality engineering into development on Spring services for a major Canadian bank.
- Designing OpenAPI contracts for the platform's APIs and extending the automated test coverage I built during my QE internship.
Sept 2026 – Dec 2027
Intern Developer, Quality Engineering

Tata Consultancy Services · Toronto, ON

Built automated BDD API tests in Java (Cucumber, REST Assured, TestNG) for a major Canadian bank's enterprise payments platform, on-site full-time.
Details
- Embedded full-time on-site with a major Canadian bank for the entire term, developing automated BDD API test scenarios in Java with Cucumber, REST Assured, and TestNG for its enterprise payments platform.
- Designed and executed end-to-end test cases across chained REST APIs and Kafka event streams, validating JSON payloads, authentication, schema conformance, and request/response field mappings.
- Tracked defects in Jira and documented test coverage and requirements analysis in Confluence, working directly with the bank's developers and QEs in an Agile delivery cycle.
June 2026 – Sept 2026
Software Research Assistant

Computational Analysis and Research Group, University of Ottawa · Ottawa, ON

Built a web-based UAV and counter-UAS simulation platform (React 19, Vite, FastAPI) that replays flight telemetry on a 2D map and a 3D globe.
Details
- Built a web-based UAV and counter-UAS simulation platform (React 19, Vite, FastAPI) with a 2D Leaflet map and a CesiumJS 3D globe that replays JSON flight telemetry, trails, and camera/radar fields of view over real terrain.
- Implemented sensor-planning tools for drawing UAV paths, placing ground cameras and radars, and estimating flight-path coverage. Scenarios export as JSON conforming to the group's MATLAB simulator schema, with range/option validation and a maintained log of schema conflicts for supervisor review.
- Built the FastAPI backend with signed HTTP-only session authentication, admin-approved accounts, and an on-disk job queue that a remote MATLAB worker polls, reports status to, and uploads results through. Deployed frontend and backend behind Nginx and a Cloudflare Tunnel on a self-hosted Ubuntu server.

Projects

Paris Metro Network Analysis

Map of the Paris Metro and RER lines, the network modelled as a graph in this project

376 stations in the graph
933 connections between them
1.42s runtime, accepted by the UVA Online Judge (Problem 11710)

Problem: Compute the minimum spanning tree over the transfer hubs of the Paris Metro network.
Built: An adjacency-list graph in Java. Transfer hubs are detected by clustering walking edges with a custom linked-list Union-Find ADT using union-by-size, then Kruskal's algorithm with a priority queue computes the minimum spanning tree over hub-to-hub segments.
Stack: Java

LockSmith AI

Problem: Streamline secure access workflows with an AI-powered web application.
Built: Co-built the app. Led all front-end development and integrated the AI functionality, focusing on usability, real-time interaction, and a clean, responsive experience in a security-oriented system.
Stack: HTML

Real-Time Chat Application

Problem: Multi-user conversations with real-time updates, in a clean, low-latency interface.
Built: The complete front end in HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript: the UI, message layout, input handling, and user experience. Collaborated on the Socket.IO integration for live messaging.

About

Portrait of Agam Singh, wearing a navy turban and glasses

I'm a Computer Engineering co-op student at the University of Ottawa with experience in software development, quality engineering, and applied research.

I'm currently a Developer Co-op at CGI, working on an enterprise payments platform for a major Canadian bank. Before that I was a quality engineering intern at Tata Consultancy Services, and I built UAV and counter-UAS simulation tools as a research assistant at the University of Ottawa.

My work spans Java, Spring, Python, FastAPI, C/C++, SQL, JavaScript, and React, from API design and test automation to real-time systems and web-based visualization tools. I enjoy building practical software systems, testing user flows, debugging issues, and turning technical ideas into clean, usable products.

Outside of development, I take on leadership roles in student organizations and tech initiatives, where I work on communication, execution, event planning, and team coordination. I'm interested in software engineering, cybersecurity, quality assurance, system design, and scalable products.
