Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMikhail Pilin is a seasoned software leader and profiler core architect with over 20 years of experience designing stable, well-tested systems for performance, memory and coverage tooling. As Team Lead at JetBrains he architects and implements the profiler cores and launchers behind dotTrace, dotMemory and dotCover, while also owning build and deploy subsystems across Windows, Linux and macOS—including Linux aarch64 support using Raspberry Pi and ThunderX2 build agents. He combines deep low-level expertise (C/C++, IL, x86/x64/ARM assembly) with practical infrastructure skills (CMake, TeamCity, AWS, TeamCity agents) and a track record of CI/buildfarm automation. An active contributor to the .NET runtime around profiler integration, he pairs reverse-engineering and CLR internals knowledge with a pragmatic drive for supportability and automation. Mikhail’s background in digital hardware and Verilog informs his systems thinking, making him equally comfortable in firmware-like low-level work and cross-platform tooling.
