Alexander Chernov

Alexander Chernov

I design and deliver intelligent data and AI infrastructure, bridging principal-level engineering practice with peer-reviewed research and external technical leadership.

My work focuses on building reliable, governable, and observable systems for scientific and regulated environments—spanning agentic AI, data platforms, control planes, and emerging computational paradigms.

I am active across IEEE publications, conference presentations, technical writing, and open-source prototypes, translating research ideas into practical engineering approaches.

What I work on:

- Agentic AI infrastructure: semantic caching, control planes, lifecycle finite-state machines, and governed autonomy
- Security-critical patterns for autonomous and multi-agent systems
- Strategy and architecture for intelligent data services and Manufacturing Execution Systems
- Near-real-time telemetry, audit, provenance, and decision-record substrates across multi-terabyte environments
- Declarative policy, state, and intent expressed as code through custom resource models, GitOps, and control-plane patterns
- Technical mentorship and cross-functional influence across engineering, MLOps, SRE, and adjacent disciplines

I bring AIOps, MLOps, DevSecOps, and Site Reliability Engineering practices to systems that must remain reliable, explainable, and operable in regulated contexts.

My background spans distributed systems in high-reliability domains: reactive platforms in banking and finance, GxP-aligned pharmaceutical manufacturing systems, and industrial automation for semiconductor manufacturing.

Always building. Always learning. One automation script—and one qubit—at a time.

I'm an Automation Developer at HDFC Bank (via Wipro), where I build enterprise applications that automate complex storage infrastructure operations. My current work focuses on replacing manual zoning and observability processes with reliable, scalable, and self-service automation platforms.
One of my key projects is ZoneManager—a Flask-based application that automates Fibre Channel and FCIP zone management across Brocade switches. By integrating the Brocade FOS REST API with MySQL, it replaces manual CLI-based zoning with a centralized, auditable workflow, improving operational efficiency and reducing human error.
Before transitioning into automation, I worked as a Network Engineer, gaining hands-on experience with enterprise networking, network security, and monitoring. My work included SolarWinds, Wireshark, IEEE 802.1X, Cisco Identity Services Engine (Cisco ISE), and troubleshooting network infrastructure, giving me a strong foundation in enterprise systems that I now leverage while building automation solutions.
Beyond infrastructure engineering, I'm passionate about Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, and emerging technologies. I hold a Quantum Computing certification from The Coding School and previously worked as a Quantum AI Engineer Intern at STEMIAC, where I explored quantum machine learning applications for real-world challenges.
I'm also an active community leader and mentor. I proudly serve as a Windows Insider MVP, Women Techmakers Ambassador, Gold Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador, and Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador Mentor. I regularly organize workshops, speak at conferences, mentor aspiring technologists, and contribute to developer communities.
Most recently, I co-founded JS Community Mumbai, where I helped organize and host our first meetup, bringing together developers, industry speakers, and sponsors to foster learning and collaboration.
With a B.Tech in Information Technology from BITS Pilani (WILP) while continuing to deepen my expertise across automation, networking, storage infrastructure, AI, cybersecurity, cloud, Python, JavaScript, and quantum technologies.
I enjoy solving infrastructure challenges through automation, sharing knowledge with the community, and exploring technologies that shape the future.
