Igor Gromov antivariant

Hello! 👋

I am Igor Gromov, a professional specializing in Software Development in Test (SDET), backend programming, penetration testing, and embedded systems development.

Open to Opportunities

I am currently open to a QA / SDET Team Lead role.

I am interested in positions where I can combine hands-on technical work with team leadership, quality strategy, and building reliable engineering processes.

🌟 Key Focus Areas:

SDET: Automated testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and quality assurance.
Programming: Backend and full-stack development.
Pentesting: Security testing and vulnerability exploitation.
Embedded Systems: Software for microcontrollers.
Smart Home and AI: Development and integration of smart devices and AI solutions for smart homes.
Project and Team Management: Led a team of 10 testers across 7 concurrent projects.
Training and Education: Created and conducted testing courses, training over 100 students.

Current Focus

Currently building a personal educational and engineering project related to software quality and testing, while remaining open to a QA / SDET Team Lead role.

Within this project, I work across multiple roles, including:

backend and frontend development
test automation and quality assurance
infrastructure and DevOps-related tasks
designing and authoring SDET training materials
