Dmitry Drobotov is a software engineer based in Belgrade with four years of hands-on experience across backend, mobile, and QA/test automation roles. He progressed from mobile and backend development at Qoden Technologies to engineering and lead positions at Akvelon, and currently builds software at JetBrains. Dmitry has practical experience hardening CI by stabilizing flaky tests in the high-profile dotnet/winforms repository, improving reliability of UI component tests such as DataGridView and RichTextBox. He blends implementation skills with a pragmatic focus on test infrastructure and delivery stability, helping teams avoid blocked deployments. Trained in computer science at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, he brings a detail-oriented approach to both feature development and quality engineering. Colleagues would describe him as an engineer who prefers solving root causes in tests and systems rather than masking symptoms.
