Konstantin Shefov is a Staff Quality Engineer with 13 years of experience focused on Java SE QA automation, build/release engineering, and SDET work across embedded and server platforms. He has deep expertise in porting and testing the Java Development Kit on embedded ARM, PowerPC and MIPS architectures, driving CI/CD and release automation for Zulu Embedded at Azul Systems. Previously he spent several years in Oracle’s Java SE SQE teams and is an official OpenJDK committer with hands-on experience fixing HotSpot VM tests and regressions for JDK 8/9. Konstantin combines a research-grade background—a PhD in mathematical modelling and computational techniques—with practical software engineering, having written scientific simulation code in C++ and managed computational clusters. He’s as comfortable leading small remote QA teams and mentoring engineers as he is authoring test automation frameworks and release pipelines. Based in Almaty, he brings a rare mix of formal computational training and long-term, production-focused Java platform stewardship.
