Senior🎓
Top SchoolPavel Khmelinsky is a seasoned technology leader with 17 years in software and 10+ years leading engineering teams, currently serving as Head of Development for Wildberries’ international WB Bank initiative. He has run large engineering organisations (170+ people as CTO at SAMOLET) and owned high-stakes systems at Yandex—managing billing for 500 billion RUB GMV and petabyte-scale financial data. Pavel combines hands-on architecture skills (infrastructure resiliency, RMDB refactors, WebSocket scaling) with product-driven delivery, having driven dramatic performance gains like 3x faster page loads and real-time pricing from 10h to 5min. He’s skilled at scaling teams and platforms under heavy traffic, instituting AQA, CI/CD migrations and zero-lead-loss recovery pipelines. Based in Moscow, he pairs pragmatic operational experience with a builder’s curiosity—his short motto “Do meaningful things” reflects a focus on measurable impact over vanity metrics.
