# Pasha Finkelshteyn
Developer Advocate at BellSoft focusing on Java performance and startup optimization.

## About

Pasha Finkelshteyn works as a Developer Advocate at BellSoft. He focuses on Java performance, the JVM ecosystem, and finding better ways to reduce application startup times.

He recently broke down how to use Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint (CRaC) to get Java applications running in milliseconds. His work explores how CRaC differs from Linux's CRIU, its integration with Spring, and the practical trade-offs of using it for near-instant startup.
