Pavel Kirilin is a pragmatic technology leader and Chief Technology Officer with nine years of experience building scalable back-end systems and distributed infrastructure from Serbia. He has hands-on expertise in Python, Rust and Haskell and a track record of shipping high-throughput services—most notably a video upload and encoding pipeline that processes tens of thousands of files per day and a real-time WebSocket messaging service used across microservices. Pavel contributes to open source (FastAPI template, core components of the TaskIQ async task queue) and favors solutions that scale—his GitHub motto: "If it's not scalable it doesn't count." He’s built tooling that improved operational velocity, from company-wide OpenTelemetry integration that reduced defect turnaround to Jenkins test automation that cut plugin test time from days to minutes. Comfortable switching between low-level systems (brokers, backends, encoders) and product-facing APIs, he also mentors and hires engineers, having designed intern programs and led R&D teams. Always exploring new ideas, he prototyped neural-video upscaling and creates libraries to simplify building asynchronous distributed systems.
