Nikita Grafov is a software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in front-end engineering and a strong track record of launching large-scale, user-facing products. Currently on Google’s Calendar Core team, he focuses on code health, developer experience, and data-driven feature decisions—having shipped integrations across Calendar, Drive, and Meet while trimming low-value complexity. His background spans leading small teams and architecting complex SPAs at Yandex (video hosting, ad management) and building performance-optimized desktop tools that handled millions of cached entities. Comfortable across the stack, he has moved between front-end, backend, and UX roles and introduced practices like pre-merge E2E screenshot tests to improve quality. Based in Zurich, he combines pragmatic product sensibility with curiosity about AI/ML and measurement-driven tradeoffs. An engineer who favors measurable impact, he routinely pairs implementation with instrumentation and analysis to guide product choices.
