Evangelos Trantos is a Principal Member of Technical Staff with 12 years of hands-on experience in software engineering, test automation, and compliance verification, currently contributing to Oracle’s Heatwave Cloud Service for MySQL on AWS. He has deep expertise in embedded systems and hardware verification, leading teams that certify gaming software to strict regulatory standards while building and maintaining bash-based automation frameworks. At Ultimaker he combined test automation with DevOps work—improving CI/CD, Docker/Kubernetes build systems and tweaking build environments for a widely used open-source project, Cura. Evangelos is comfortable across the stack from low-level protocol and PCB testing to cloud-native deployment and release certification, and he often authors tooling and simulations to reproduce edge-case failures. Known for pragmatic project leadership and meticulous documentation, he pairs a Linux-philosophy engineering mindset with a customer-oriented, can-do approach. Beyond testing, his background includes C/C++ library work from academic research and contributions that improved complex build pipelines for cross-platform projects.
