Alex Pazdnikoff
Technical Lead · launches across software, infrastructure and devices
Technical leader with 15+ years running IT and launches where software meets equipment: 1,500+ devices under central monitoring, three automated parking facilities with 30+ lanes taken into production, CCTV, access control and guest networks.
I lead vendors and teams from requirements to commissioning and stay hands-on: integrations with 1C and Bitrix24, Linux infrastructure, medical-device firmware with IEC 62304 documentation, and AI-assisted delivery under human review.
Core competencies
Recent projects
Lead integrator & architect
- From mid-2024 rolled out Bitrix24 — first with a contractor, then myself: processes, automation, mobile workplaces, an instruction for every role; in my estimate stock fell by more than half. In 2026 audited the broken 1C exchange: 1.88M queue entries for dead endpoints, three parallel channels.
- Subscriptions 159 → 54, queue → 0, own event filter; phantom records 1,659 → 681 moved to the recycle bin after a dry run, with backup; contract ↔ deal sync, service and warehouse workplaces with mobile PWAs.
Deployment & data migration lead
- Deployed and upgraded a .NET / Blazor manufacturing portal next to the existing CRM; 12 database migrations applied in production.
- Moved product structures from Excel into the portal with idempotent Python ETL — BOMs up to 377 parts; the first purchase request was created from them.
Firmware engineer
- Audited and fixed AVR firmware of a medical device (I2C hang, false leak alarm).
- 27 host-run unit tests, zero-warning reproducible build, software documentation per IEC 62304 for registration.
Engineer
- ESP32-S3 devices from idea to prototype: offline voice assistant, IMU motion gloves, USB printer emulator.
- ZMK keyboard firmware: median key-to-report latency 50.2 → 0.1 ms, measured from logs; code public on GitHub.
Founder & solution architect
- Analysed the processes of a medical-equipment distributor and designed a modular CRM/ERP to replace an off-the-shelf portal: 45 Django apps — CRM, contracts, warehouse, procurement, delivery, workflow engine, mail, chat, BI.
- Built it solo in 5.5 weeks (359 commits): AI agents wrote most of the code, I owned the analysis, architecture, data model and review of critical paths. Transactional outbox for 1C, idempotent migration from Bitrix24, Flutter mobile client. Deployed as a pilot (3 users), not yet in daily operation.
Architect & operator
- Self-hosted platform where agents plan, code and review changes and a human approves merges and production actions: independent judge, private RAG (pgvector), MCP tools.
- Local 27B model on one GPU for routine work, cloud models for setup and hard tasks; production actions only through approval cards.
Leadership roles
Head of Digital Transformation
Owned the digitalisation of cross-functional processes between production sites and the head office.
- Mapped the manual operations and designed the target workflows; defined requirements and business logic for internal services: requests, leave, IT support, cross-department tasks.
- Designed the integration architecture between the corporate platform and 1C for employee and organisational data; wrote the specifications and took the 1C ↔ Bitrix24 exchange through implementation and testing.
- Rolled out one task and project model for all departments — routing, status tracking, execution control — and put the external IT provider on the same managed channel.
- Led the roll-out of Bitrix24 as the shared workspace; by the time I left, requests, leave and IT tickets were handled in one portal.
Head of Technical Support
Led support for the company’s software products and owned the improvement backlog that fed development.
- Led the launch of three automated parking facilities with 30+ entry and exit lanes: software deployment, equipment integration, commissioning into production.
- Turned customer feedback and root-cause analysis into technical requirements and a prioritised product backlog; worked with developers on fixes and features.
- Took part in integrations with video surveillance and access control; introduced a Kanban support process, a self-service portal with a chatbot and a shared knowledge base.
Head of Information Technology
Ran all technology of a large operating venue for 11+ years — from requirements and architecture to vendors and daily operations.
- Built central monitoring of 1,500+ server, network, security and engineering devices: incident detection and localisation went from hours to minutes.
- Designed the integration between the entertainment management system and 1C, automating the flow between operations and accounting.
- Delivered video recording for an indoor skydiving facility, digital signage on 7 displays, guest Wi-Fi with 14 access points for up to 700 visitors, CCTV of 100+ cameras.
- Designed and operated servers, Hyper-V, backup, networks, VPN and access control; managed suppliers, contractors and technical projects.
