About

I’m Dimitris Sideridis, a Test Lead and Test Automation Engineer with 10+ years of experience building test frameworks, improving quality standards, and enabling teams to own quality in Agile and SAFe environments. I focus on turning ambiguous, high-risk issues into structured, documented solutions—whether that’s designing CI/CD test infrastructure, migrating automation pipelines, or setting up practical testing guidelines that teams can follow.

In my current role as QA Coach and Test Lead in Swisscom’s ESM tribe, I support a BMC Remedy to BMC Helix migration to AWS and help the organization raise test quality across functional and non-functional needs. Previously at Swisscom’s ONeITSM project, I led automation for GUI and web services (SOAP/REST), integrated tests into CI/CD, and migrated pipelines from Jenkins to GitLab—alongside building performance dashboards and a knowledge ecosystem to help users succeed with ITSM capabilities.
