Pavlo Shevchenko
@pavloshevchenko
Lead software engineer who accelerates builds and tests through observability, resiliency, and developer tooling.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Lead Software Engineer at Gradle Inc., focused on developer tooling that speeds up builds and tests while making failures easier to troubleshoot and understand. I’ve contributed to accelerating build initialization in ephemeral CI environments and led work to improve test execution observability via public APIs, custom Grafana dashboards, and in-product UI.
I also took on the role of Team Lead for the Testing team, and led initiatives to increase the resiliency of Netty components responsible for communication between the build and remote Test Distribution agents. In my previous Senior Software Engineer role, I led the implementation of capturing and visualizing “Test Distribution” usage in Gradle and Maven, helping users optimize their test setup.
I’ve driven strategy and implementation across flaky test identification, OSS contributions (including the “OSS Test Retry Gradle plugin”), and product improvements like rebranding the Develocity Gradle plugin. Earlier, I led “Predictive Test Selection” for Maven, built gaps in observability for test setup/teardown, and worked across full-stack and cloud systems in roles spanning 3T Software Labs, AWS OpsWorks Stacks, and SciFlow.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Led initiatives to accelerate Develocity build process initialization in ephemeral CI environments and improved test execution observability via public APIs, custom Grafana dashboards, and an in-product UI. Improved resiliency of Netty-based communication between builds and remote Test Distribution agents.
Implemented capturing and visualization of Test Distribution usage in Gradle and Maven builds to help users optimize test distribution configuration.
