CTO Automate the Planet
Nikolay Avramov
Software Engineer at Automate the Planet
Developer in Test at Automate The Planet. For the past 8 years, he worked as a Quality Assurance Engineer in Telerik (later acquired by Progress software). He started his career in the field from ground zero- from taking part of the Telerik Academy to becoming a Principal QA Engineer/Ninja that is in the heart of any innovation or automation initiative. Through his work he has developed, and integrated multiple custom frameworks and tools used across the entire company. To name a few- a custom Load and Performance Testing Framework; System Testing Framework; Web Service Testing Framework; Visual Verification Framework; and many other productivity tools that assured the highest quality of all web and business assets of the company. He found his true passion in Automation while looking for a ‘weapon’ to fight the boring, non-productive daily tasks that a QA faces. By reducing the manual repeatable jobs, he believes that we can make the world a better place, full of happy and productive people that are ready to tackle the next challenging task, instead of the next pile of test scenarios to cover by hand. He is a passionate technology geek and automation specialist that strives to implement optimizations and achieve high-quality standards in any aspect of life.
Ventsislav Ivanov
Software Engineer at Automate the Planet
He starts his automation career from his hobby – browser games. For the last 6 years in the IT industry, he has achieved a lot like QA Engineer, Developer, and Lecturer. He has more than 1000 hours like a lecturer in various disciplines – C# Fundamentals, C# OOP, C# Web, Java OOP, High-Quality Code, and of course, Quality Assurance. He is a proud creator and lead of the main Quality Assurance course in one of the best Bulgarian’s academies, where more than 1000+ people certified like QA engineers and more than 500+ like automation engineers. He has specialized mainly in web automated testing. He has been responsible for building the entire QA process in his past company, from teaching developers unit testing to designing the whole product Continuous Integration. His motto is: “Instead of feeling embarrassed about your “bad” code or proud of your “good” code, you should judge your code by how well it succeeds at achieving your goals.”
