Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Belokrylov is a seasoned CEO and co-founder of BellSoft with over 14 years of experience driving OpenJDK development, product strategy, and Java ecosystem growth. He leads the team behind Liberica JDK, a Java SE–verified OpenJDK distribution used by major customers like VMware and JetBrains, and focuses on reducing operational costs and eliminating vendor lock-in for enterprise Java users. Before BellSoft he spent nearly 13 years at Sun Microsystems and Oracle shaping Java adoption, product roadmaps, and developer programs across EMEA. Hands-on with low-level JVM work, he has contributed to projects like GraalVM by implementing Java Flight Recorder events to monitor thread CPU load, reflecting a blend of executive leadership and deep technical craftsmanship. Based in San Jose, he pairs engineering rigor with community-building — an avid outdoorsman who brings the same endurance to long-distance orienteering and kite-surfing as he does to scaling open-source Java.
