Alexander Kazimirsky
I have nearly 20 years of experience working in Software Engineering companies across various roles, from Java backend developer to CTO/Executive Director. I possess expert knowledge in backend Java, including popular allied technologies and frameworks (such as Spring/Spring Boot, Feign, REST, etc.), and the infrastructure landscape (Kafka, Jira, Git, Jenkins, etc.).
I have extensive expertise in process setup and implementation, including Agile methodologies and both micro and macro management. My experience in team management spans up to 100 employees in an executive capacity, covering a comprehensive range of activities (client contact, hiring, firing, goal setting, task decomposition, prioritization).
I am eager to share my significant experience in building high-performance, fault-tolerant IT systems. I can assist with targeted questions as well as interview preparation. Additionally, I can mentor individuals looking to deepen their knowledge and lead a Java programming course, ranging from beginners to senior developers.
I can also provide guidance and support in production process auditing, implementation, and improvement.

I led 10 product delivery teams (with clusters of up to 100 employees, including outsourced members) delivering banking software for the Operations Department. I was responsible for the cluster Engineering and IT landscape, including three IT systems—developing, delivering, leading, and optimizing the software development process. This encompassed everything from hiring new members and integrating them into effective teams to DevOps automation.
I developed product source code for several years. I built a product team of 50+ members from the ground up and successfully delivered a new IT system into production.
I reduced the time-to-market (T2M) from 14 to 5 weeks through process improvements in production. I implemented a task decomposition process that increased team velocity and improved product quality by up to 30%.
