Iliya Yanev

Senior Automation QA

 

Iliya loves the challenge of working in a dynamic environment where no 2 days are ever the same. As a Senior Automation QA, he performs automation tests, helps his colleagues whenever needed, and also does some back-end and DevOps tasks.

The focus of his work lies on technologies such as AWS, Docker, Kafka, Jenkins, Spring Boot, and Selenium and overall, the automation of every step of the project cycle. He has passed the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate exam and has completed a Docker Mastery and a Spring Framework DevOps on AWS course.

A life without music is hardly imaginable for Iliya, who has played the guitar in 4 different bands belonging to various music styles. He also likes trekking and playing chess.

What It Takes To Be a Multidimensional BA

November 14, 2019

This DevTalks session will focus on the BA role on projects through two prisms: social impact and technology. We will explore a case study showing how technology can be used to make an impact and change lives for the better. Also, we will see how technology affects the role of BAs and what we could do today to upgrade our portfolio.

Common Patterns in Microservices and the QA Way Around It

October 9, 2019

The first part of the lecture will be a dive into common patterns in microservices. We will explore event sourcing, Saga and Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) and the opportunities that they bring. And at the end of it, we will build a couple of microservices that use these patterns from scratch.
The second part will explain more about how to simultaneously test microservices and create documentation with Groovy and Spock, and what advantages they give us when testing. We will also cover how we can easily create data-driven tests with Spock.

Image Moderation Using Serverless Architecture and AI in AWS

December 5, 2018

А DevTalks session for a real-life example of some of Amazon AWS hottest services. We will leverage AWS Lambda to power the solution, Amazon Rekognition to do the AI-based image analysis and AWS Step Functions to orchestrate the whole process. And one of the best things about it – the “pay as you go” model, where you pay only when your app is used.
