Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikolai Grunin is a Test Automation Lead based in the Berlin area with over a decade of experience building and scaling test automation for fintech, telecom and premium automotive customers. He combines hands-on framework development (Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, Selenium/Selenide, Cucumber, Appium) with CI/CD orchestration using Jenkins, GitLab CI and GitHub Actions to deliver faster, more stable pipelines. Proven impact includes reducing end-to-end test runs from 20 to 6 hours, boosting reliable test coverage by ~45% and cutting flakiness to under 5%, enabling teams to ship features faster. Comfortable working cross-functionally with business analysts and architects, he translates complex domain logic into maintainable BDD suites and UML/workflow artifacts. His background in electronics and early hardware/software QA gives him a practical systems perspective that helps surface integration risks earlier in delivery. Currently leading automation efforts at Capgemini across telecom and automotive programs, he focuses on pragmatic frameworks and measurable quality improvements.
