Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDimitris Dranidis is a Quality Assurance Lead and Principal Software Engineer with nine years of industry experience and a long academic career, currently embedding modern testing practices and quality engineering at BetAdvanced while teaching software development at CITY College. He blends hands-on expertise in TDD/BDD, contract and model-based testing, clean architecture and automation with a track record of refactoring complex systems and building observability and tooling to boost developer productivity. A polyglot across functional, logic and imperative languages (from C/C++ and Java to Clojure, Scala, Go and Prolog), he chooses the right paradigm for each problem and guides teams in pragmatic technology adoption. Previously he led academic departments and long-lived engineering projects—such as INVENT for student-industry collaboration and BrainBright for cognitive care—showing a rare mix of product-focused engineering and curriculum design. He also brings research experience in model-based testing and EU-funded projects, and a habit of turning research prototypes into maintainable production systems. Based in Thessaloniki, Dimitris is as comfortable mentoring students and engineers as he is architecting enterprise-grade quality platforms.
