• Contributed to the development of an internal service for automating the diagnosis of production \& performance issues by creating diagnostic sessions.
• Managed product decisions, implementing backend optimizations and UI enhancements for a more intuitive, high-performance user experience.
• Streamlined the generation of specialized profiling diagnostic sessions and flamegraph creation through new architectural solutions and a notification system that informs users of session statuses via Slack and Jira.
• Conducted prompt engineering research to support Cortex AI (LLM) integration, automating optimal parameter selection for diagnostic sessions.
• Designed a diagnostic session summary mechanism, leveraging LLM integration and prompt engineering to condense extensive results into actionable insights, reducing developers' analysis time.

• Configured an effective operation of the IntelliJ TestSpark plugin -- a plugin for generating unit tests that natively integrates different AI-based tools in the IDE.
• Revamped the plugin architecture, enabling easy addition of new languages beyond the initial monolithic setup.
• Added Kotlin language support to the plugin.

• Researched in the field of Content Defined Chunking algorithms for the acceleration of the download time of a set of akin files.
• Implemented a framework for testing different chunking approaches on the Snowflake-specific tar archives.
• Conducted an exploration of various techniques based on the key performance metrics.
• Performed the full-stack flow of integrating the new approach to downloading tar archives into the Snowflake backend.✔ As a result, the downloading speed of chunked archives was decreased by 30 percent, underscoring a.
• Accomplished algorithm is now an important part of future breakthrough optimization of the archive downloading flow.
• Migrated alerts and dashboards of my team from Wavefront to Grafana (PromQL).

• The work was done under the scope of a bachelor's thesis.
• Researched in a field of regression tests runtime acceleration: Test Case Prioritization, Test Case Selection, and Test Case Minimization.
• Designed the framework for applying advanced Test Prioritization techniques to diverse projects, which took into account project-specific intricacies and the nuances of their testing pipelines.
• Leveraged the framework to identify the most effective, custom-tailored solution to the IntelliJ IDEA testing flow, relying on a large number of carefully curated metrics.
• Created the seamless integration of the selected algorithm into the real CI/CD environment of IntelliJ IDEA.✔ As a result, the time until the first error detection was accelerated by 300 times for some builds.
