Council Member
Roman Ismagilov is a Principal Software Engineer with over five years of commercial experience building enterprise systems for the financial sector, where the cost of an interface error extends beyond user inconvenience to regulatory fines and legal exposure.
In his current role as Principal Software Engineer at Alfa-Bank, a position he has held since May 2026, Roman Ismagilov works on the bank's collections platform for overdue consumer debt, a system used daily by staff across more than a dozen access roles that must remain available at the precise moment an operator reaches a client. He takes ownership of features across the full stack, from requirements review and solution design through client and server code, automated tests, and release across every environment. Over the course of his three years at Alfa-Bank, which began with his appointment as Lead Software Engineer in November 2023, he carried the legacy Angular application through two consecutive major framework upgrades without a feature freeze, and came to own the workflow orchestration that runs debt processing overnight.
