Hlias Giannoulis
Lead Software Engineer in Test, Allwyn
I'm Hlias Giannoulis, a Software Engineer in Test lead at Allwyn Lottery Solutions. With nearly 14 years in the software testing arena, I've been around the block, exploring several industries like banking, chemicals, and the exciting world of lottery.
​
My playground is mainly around mobile automation testing, where I've embraced the challenges of the ever-evolving mobile landscape and served up some complete end to end solutions. Think of me as a mobile testing expert, navigating through the demanding challenges of this dynamic realm.
​
When I'm not busy writing code and conquering bugs,I’m pulling double duty as the assistant Organizer at the Ministry of Testing Athens. It’s my undercover mission to keep the testing world trained and up to date with current technologies and trends from experts around the world .
But wait, there's more to my story! When I am not deep into testing , I’m out there practicing martial arts, challenging my inner ninja. And oh, did I mention I'm a cooking addict? Yep, when I'm not battling with code bugs, you'll find me in the kitchen, trying to cook up delicious dishes with my son as my trusty kitchen partner (well, most of the time).
​
So, if you're looking for a blend of testing madness, community spirit, martial arts finesse, and a sprinkle of Gordon Ramsay – I'm your person! Let's make testing not just a job, but a fantastic journey. See you at the conference!
