Alexander Chernov

Alexander Chernov

As a Subject Matter Expert, I operate at the intersection of agentic systems, large-scale data platforms, and real-time infrastructure, leading research and architecture for systems where data, equipment, and applications become active, self-governing entities.

My work focuses on defining and evolving agent-native system architectures that span cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments. I design platforms where datasets, filesystems, equipment catalogs, and services own their workflows, lifecycle, and operational intent, enabling near real-time adaptation, autonomous coordination, and policy-driven execution.

I stay hands-on with the systems I design. I prototype, wire up, stress-test, and iterate on real platforms - often moving from whiteboard to running code, from UI interaction to control plane logic, from local experiments to production-grade infrastructure.

I work across frontend, backend, and infrastructure layers, not as isolated components but as a single system that must behave predictably under load, failure, and change. My focus is on making complex systems understandable, operable, and pleasant to evolve - for both humans and machines.

I build systems around reliability, security, and isolation by design, using declarative resource models, infrastructure-as-code, and custom controllers to map desired state into observable, governable reality. I actively integrate practices from AIOps, MLOps, DevSecOps, and Site Reliability Engineering, ensuring that intelligent systems remain explainable, operable, and safe at scale.

A core strength of my work is designing near real-time telemetry, metrics, and event pipelines that operate across heterogeneous environments and process data at multi-terabyte scale. These pipelines are not treated as observability add-ons, but as first-class architectural primitives that enable feedback, learning, and adaptation.

My experience spans high-reliability and regulated domains, including finance, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and industrial automation. This includes architecting reactive financial systems, contributing to GxP-aligned MES platforms, and designing control and automation systems for semiconductor manufacturing and robotics, with deep experience in SECS/HSMS-based integrations.
