Top SchoolAnton Chikin is a Sr. New Product Introduction Engineer with 15+ years across telecom and IT and over a decade focused on cloud computing, automation, and CI/CD. He builds and fields first-of-a-kind CI/CD solutions for cloud-native applications, translating field feedback into requirements, POCs, trainings and product improvements while working daily with Azure DevOps, Kubernetes, Helm and Harbor. Previously he led architecture and platform work at TELUS—designing K8s PaaS, NFV orchestration, and automated lifecycle management—and has deep verification and support experience for Nokia VNF products across OpenStack and VMware. A pragmatic problem-solver, Anton has repeatedly moved projects from demos to production and accelerated processes (e.g., migration tooling that cut a 2-week task to 1 hour). He also contributes to open-source tooling for OCR and image-processing robustness, demonstrating attention to detail in backend and automation fixes. Based in Voronezh and now operating in Canada, he pairs hands-on engineering with customer-facing product delivery.
