About

“Automate where it makes sense!” I'm a seasoned SW developer, SW architect and technical project manager with 19+ years of experience from IT and telecommunications industry. I have 12+ years of Python development experience with highly international exposure. I have a proven track record in designing SW solutions and HW setups for automated testing, creating and leading a world-wide team of SW professionals. That includes development of very complex in-house designed performance (KPI) test cases on both System simulators and real infrastructure. I have introduced Agile scrum methodology in the team and acted as a scrum master and a product owner. I'm passionate about learning new technologies, e.g. Machine Learning, Cloud/Big Data Computing and Autonomous driving. Key skills and technologies: • Project management, Automation, TC development, Agile Scrum, SW architecture • Python, Data science and visualization, SQL, MongoDB, C, GIT • WCDMA (3G), LTE (4G), NR (5G), RF channel emulation (fading) Achievements: • I've designed and implemented (together with my colleagues) a comprehensive test automation framework for performance bench-marking. It’s been delivering automated E2E system testing for many generations of Intel mobile platforms, and it became the main automation solution at Intel modem verification. • I've successfully led international cross-functional task force teams (consisting of System Engineering, Development, Back Office and Verification members) to accelerate Voice over LTE (VoLTE) performance improvements for 2 generations of Intel modem platforms.
