Alexander Shchepetov is a Web3 developer and protocol architect with 5–6 years of hands-on experience designing secure, revenue-generating smart contract systems and full-stack DApp infrastructure. At azuro he built cross-chain contracts that reached $10M TVL and helped generate $4.5M in revenue while supporting a protocol turnover above $367M, and expanded functionality to Solana and TON. He pairs rigorous smart contract engineering (Solidity, Hardhat, Foundry) with backend systems work (FastAPI, The Graph, Dune) and pragmatic R&D, including machine-learning-driven optimizations for prediction markets and token mechanics. Before Web3 he improved reliability of deep learning workloads at Intel by building automated testing and benchmarking for the widely used OpenVINO toolkit, demonstrating strong QA and systems skills. Trained in blockchain at MFTI and with a background in Python backend development, he blends research-level knowledge with production-grade delivery and a knack for rapid MVP iterations and cross-chain experiments. Notably, his profile combines low-level testing expertise from a major open-source AI project with high-stakes DeFi protocol design.

Contributions summary:Alexander primarily contributed to the testing infrastructure within the OpenVINO repository. Their work included adding and modifying tests to evaluate the performance and functionality of various components, such as convolutional layers and conditional compilation features. These changes involved creating new test cases, adapting existing tests, and incorporating features to collect and submit test results to a database. The user also implemented tests to measure memory leaks, focusing on multi-stream inference scenarios.
