Summary
Aleksandr Erokhin is a seasoned Java-focused engineering leader with over a decade in IT, currently heading a 12-person team at Tinkoff where he drives microservices adoption, monitoring improvements, and successful end-to-end deliveries. He started as a sysadmin and web developer, which gives him practical full-stack perspective and an unusual fluency in both infrastructure (Kubernetes, OpenShift, AWS, Docker) and backend design (Java/Kotlin, Spring, Hibernate, JOOQ, Kafka). His hands-on experience includes migrating services to Kubernetes, moving databases to cloud DBaaS with minimal downtime, and implementing CI/CD pipelines and security integrations. Aleksandr combines people management—1:1s, growth plans, OKRs—and process engineering, having introduced technical sessions and quality metrics that reduced defects. He mentors engineers and has a track record of quickly onboarding and scaling teams while coordinating with senior stakeholders (STO, SRE, QA). Based in Russia and grounded in a formal IT and mathematics education from Saint Petersburg State University, he blends pragmatic engineering with measurable team outcomes.
