Gleb Fominykh, Middle Software Tester

Meet Gleb Fominykh, Middle Software Tester at Exactpro, as he talks about his unexpected career shift and the passion that turned him into a 'detective' of the IT world.

— ‘From petroleum engineer to detective’ – this caption perfectly describes my professional journey. You may ask, how is it connected to software testing? The answer is simple: while working in the oil industry, I always had a keen interest in technology and was really drawn to growing professionally in  the IT field. As it happens, I did get an opportunity for a career transition from a wonderful place – Exactpro.

So, what does the ‘detective’ stand for? In the world of digital technology, a software tester is none other than a sleuth! My job involves solving puzzles that have their roots in software development and looking for bugs hidden in the code.

If you're interested in giving this field a try, you should have good logical thinking and data analysis skills, as well as an ability to anticipate a wide range of challenges. Doesn’t that feel a lot like being a detective? 🕵️‍♂️🔎💻1️⃣0️⃣1️⃣0️⃣

Working at Exactpro involves continuous learning and development, not only in interesting work but also in the company of a supportive and motivating team. It also includes engaging activities that bring our team together through fun sports competitions and delightful parties 🙂

In my free time, I love watching TV series, I also like exploring areas outside Tbilisi and take in the breathtaking scenery of the mountain peaks 🏔 During vacations, I enjoy travelling, discovering new countries, exploring diverse cultures and visiting local sights🌴
