Hello!

My name is Igor Gromov. I am an expert in SDET (Software Development Engineer in Testing) and an experienced team lead with deep knowledge and hands-on experience in test automation. Additionally, I am a full-stack developer specializing in the MEVN stack. I also program in Python, C++, and Assembly (NASM). I enjoy building reliable testing systems integrated into CI/CD pipelines and enhancing them with detailed reporting. My primary tool is GitHub Actions, though I also have experience with Azure and Jenkins.

The key feature of my approach is the implementation and development of unit tests, which provide an objective view of code coverage. This is what sets SDET apart from an Automation Tester: I am a developer with a strong focus on testing. Beyond testing, I have experience in setting up Kubernetes cluster monitoring (Prometheus, Loki, Promtail, Grafana) and conducting load testing (K6 + InfluxDB).

In addition to my core expertise, I actively explore fields such as penetration testing, cryptography, reverse engineering, and microcontroller programming (STM, ESP, AVR). I am also interested in quantum computing and studying QISKIT.

Currently, I am working on my own educational project, but I am open to opportunities as a team lead in testing, particularly in companies operating in areas that align with my technical interests.

You can explore my experience and the technologies I work with by reviewing the materials on this website and my GitHub profile. For more details about my professional background, feel free to check out my CV:
