Aleksandr Chilikin
Software Engineer, SignART GmbH
Versatile developer with a Masters's degree in Software Development and Bachelor's degree in Control Systems Design and 8 years of hands-on experience spanning multiple domains — from internal business systems to experimental and creative tech applications.
Worked on a wide range of projects including custom CRM platforms, image processing solutions for industrial cutting, LED-based interactive installations, and computational literary and dramatic analysis. These varied contexts taught me to adapt quickly, think across disciplines, and solve problems in unfamiliar domains.
I bring a generalist mindset paired with a strong drive to learn and experiment. I'm always looking for ways to turn complex ideas into practical solutions — especially when they cross boundaries between fields.
At agents4agents, I focus on building flexible tools and infrastructure to support work with AI agents — from connecting data sources to designing internal systems that make agent communication and coordination more effective.
