I evaluate technical AI responses using 20+ years of banking infrastructure and troubleshooting experience.
Russian FederationWhat I'm looking for
I've led automation and IT infrastructure at PRIMSOTSBANK since 2014, supporting business-critical banking, ATM, POS, telecommunications, security, and monitoring systems.
I investigate complex incidents across servers, networks, applications, and security systems, identify root causes, test solutions, and document results. My hands-on work includes Windows Server, Active Directory, Hyper-V, Exchange, SCCM, WSUS, Veeam, Kaspersky Security Center, Zabbix, and Grafana.
Across PRIMSOTSBANK, URALSiB BANK, VITAS BANK, ALFA-BANK, TRANSKREDITBANK, and the Federal Tax Service, I've managed IT operations, infrastructure deployments, vendors, budgets, technical support, and banking technology environments.
I'm now applying my technical reasoning, Russian-language expertise, documentation skills, and real-world troubleshooting background to evaluating AI and LLM responses for correctness, completeness, logical consistency, and practical applicability.
