Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Chizhov is a Chief System Engineer with nine years of hands-on and managerial experience keeping critical banking IT infrastructure operational 24/7. He has led technical support and security initiatives across major Russian banks, driving cost reductions (including a 25% IT budget cut) and implementing high-availability solutions such as ATM/POS networks, remote work infrastructure, and encrypted communications. Comfortable working where seconds equate to large financial exposure, he combines practical troubleshooting with strategic procurement and vendor negotiation to protect revenue and prevent fraud. His background spans security (digital signatures, certification authority oversight) and operations, and he brought ATMs, kiosks and VOIP into production to improve service and cut costs. Outside work he serves as an interpreter for the deaf, volunteers in rare disease research, and maintains cultural ties as a keeper of Russian heritage—traits that reflect a quiet but proactive commitment to community and reliability.
