Summary
Roman Baranov is a seasoned Software Engineer with 11+ years in IT, currently building Java-based solutions at GFT Group and bringing deep expertise in Spring, Hibernate, and cloud-native tooling (AWS, Kubernetes). He progressed from systems administration and Windows packaging into QA automation, designing and implementing robust test frameworks (Java, Selenium, JBehave, Serenity) and CI pipelines with TeamCity. Roman blends hands-on backend development with strong automation and observability experience (ELK stack), making him comfortable across development, testing and deployment lifecycles. He’s pragmatic about tooling—comfortable with both legacy JVM stacks and modern front-end bits (Vue.js, JavaScript)—and consistently focuses on maintainable, testable systems. An early background in network and server administration gives him an uncommon operational lens for debugging production issues and designing reliable test environments.
