Alexey Utkin developed and enhanced code folding features across JetBrains repositories, focusing on editor usability and consistency. In JetBrains/intellij-community, Alexey implemented persistent code folding state by caching the folding model on disk, introducing frontend region management to improve navigation in large files using Java and Kotlin. For JetBrains/resharper-fsharp, Alexey optimized the F# code folding API and restructured option ordering to respect language precedence, leveraging F# and XML configuration. Additionally, Alexey delivered ShaderLab code folding enhancements for JetBrains/resharper-unity, aligning folding behavior across platforms. The work demonstrated depth in IDE development, backend integration, and cross-language plugin architecture.

In August 2025, delivered a robust Code Folding State Persistence feature for JetBrains/intellij-community, enabling persistent folding state across sessions by caching the folding model on disk and introducing frontend/region management. This work included new mechanisms to track whether folding regions were created by the frontend and whether they should be collapsed by default, significantly improving code navigation and editing in large files. A critical bug fix addressed IJPL-189483: the "+Collapsed by default" setting was not changeable when disk caching for the folding model was enabled, now ensuring user preferences are respected. The changes enhance editor reliability, reduce confusion when reopening projects, and streamline navigation in complex codebases.
