Pavel Vinokurov is a Performance Engineer based in Amsterdam with over a decade of hands-on experience optimizing high-load, distributed Java systems. After starting his career in telecom and outsourcing projects across retail, medical devices, real estate and logistics, he pivoted in 2018 to specialize in concurrency, latency and performance at GridGain and later Miro, now continuing that focus at JetBrains. He combines backend and build-engineering expertise—evident from contributions to high-profile Kotlin repositories where he improved build tooling, Gradle task creation, and native compiler plumbing—to squeeze out predictable performance at scale. Pavel pairs a pragmatic, systems-level mindset with deep build/test infrastructure skills, making him as comfortable tuning garbage collection and thread contention as he is refactoring CI and build pipelines.
