Release operations and developer experience across 100+ engineers, multiple teams, and cross-project programs at JetBrains.
Operating focus: predictable delivery, CI/CD stability, deploy velocity, and release train cadence—in distributed, multi-team environments.
End-to-end ownership from CI/CD pipelines and AWS build infrastructure through cross-team, cross-project release coordination.
Build infrastructure, observability, security, and quality gates across the delivery lifecycle.
Current exploration: AI-native developer workflows, engineering systems for AI coding agents, and scalable developer infrastructure—without overclaiming shipped AI product work.

Release operations & developer experience
Release operations and developer experience—end-to-end ownership across CI/CD, build infrastructure, and delivery for 100+ engineers, multiple teams, and cross-project programs.
Operating focus
- Cross-team & cross-project delivery — coordination across 100+ engineers, multiple teams, and overlapping product lines
- Developer productivity — redicung developer workflows friction through tooling, workflows and build infrastructure
- Release ownership & developer workflows in distributed, multi-team environments
- CI/CD stability — pipeline success with production-safe delivery
- Deploy velocity — time-to-deploy as a primary lever
- Release train cadence — predictable scheduling without the long delays the program used to carry
- Build infrastructure — AWS agents, scalability, security, and observability
- Release sequencing, dependencies, and delivery clarity across team and project boundaries

Test engineer for the Kotlin language specification, responsible for developing spec-compliant test suites, improving tooling for the validation cycle, and clarifying CI feedback in situations where failures often indicated specification ambiguities. Contributed to the language specification content and to kotlinlang.org/spec.

Career start in automotive test engineering on UDS (ISO 14229): built a diagnostics test-suite generator and, when the library plateaued, a human-readable verification compiler—plus UDS-driven test-stand hardware for Valeo (Daimler, Audi, Peugeot programs). Suite generation shortened test authoring from weeks-scale manual work to a much faster loop. Foundational training in platforms, levers, and multi-stakeholder delivery that still shapes release and DevEx work today.
