Senior🎓
Top SchoolIakiv Kramarenko is a founder-CEO and seasoned QA/Test Automation leader with 13+ years of professional experience and 17 years in IT, known for building teams, educating engineers, and delivering pragmatic automation strategies. He founded Automician and contributes widely to open-source test tooling—authoring Selene (Python), NSelene (C#) and SelenideJs—tools trusted by the community for user-oriented Web UI testing. As QA Automation Architect at ShelterZoom and former QAA Director at Knowledge Expert, he blends hands-on SDET work across Python, JS/TS and C# with people-first leadership: facilitation, coaching, and empowering self-organized teams. He favors KISS and Context-Driven testing, invests in growing junior talent over buying seniority, and practices sociocratic, flat organizational principles. Beyond code, he writes introductory tech books for beginners and pursues interdisciplinary interests from computer vision and psychology to music and Capoeira, which influence his human-centered approach to engineering. Based in Ukraine, he is a practical polyglot automation practitioner who turns testing theory into lightweight, maintainable frameworks.
