Igor
Khan
I build IT as a system,
not a portfolio of projects.
I connect technology strategy, architecture, product and operations — building a predictable software delivery system at the scale of large companies and regulated industries.

01 / APPROACH
From strategy —
to a platform that works.
Management decisions are validated not by slide decks, but by delivery quality, system resilience and business outcomes.
01
Technology
strategy
Architecture principles, a technology roadmap and standards that hold up as the scale grows.
- Target architecture and technology roadmap
- Initiative portfolio, budget and priorities
- Common standards and architecture decisions
02
Teams
and partners
One set of rules for internal teams and vendors, clear accountability and measurable quality.
- Hybrid model of in-house and external development
- Quality gates and acceptance checkpoints
- Engineering culture and leadership development
03
Delivery
and operations
CI/CD, IaC, observability and release management — one chain from idea to production.
- CI/CD, IaC, Kubernetes and quality gates
- SLO/SLI, monitoring and centralised logging
- Releases, incidents and continuous improvement
03 / IMPACT
SYSTEMIC CHANGE
Complexity becomes
manageable.
01
One engineering framework for dozens of teams.
Standardised code, CI/CD, IaC and observability for internal and external teams in a strictly regulated environment.

04 / ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
FROM POLICY TO PRODUCTION
AI is not a separate chat.
It is a new operating model.
I design AI adoption at the level of the organisation: connecting rules, architecture, engineering processes and practical use cases into one governed system.
01GOVERNANCE
Policies, regulations and methodologies
I define the rules for safe and effective use of generative AI: roles and accountability, permitted use cases, data requirements, quality control and human-in-the-loop.
02ARCHITECTURE
Architecture for large-scale AI adoption
I shape the target architecture — from models and enterprise context to integrations, the agent layer, security, observability and production operations.
03AI DELIVERY
AI-enabled delivery pipelines
I build an AI-assisted SDLC: decomposition and specifications, code generation and review, testing, documentation and human checkpoints — with measurable impact on delivery.
HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE
From team maturity assessment to working AI use cases.
I have run diagnostics of AI adoption and its barriers, shaped a training programme, prepared an industry AI meetup and built applied tools: analytical reports, dashboards, documents and automated workflows.
05 / EXPERIENCE
Technology, product
and leadership.
A career path from product analytics and project management to ownership of IT strategy and the platform perimeter.
