Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience designing high-availability distributed systems and leading engineering teams.
I am a software architect driven by the challenge of scale. My journey began with simple web scripts and evolved into designing distributed systems that handle millions of requests.
I believe in clean code, pragmatic design, and empowering teams. When I'm not coding, I'm writing about tech, contributing to open source, or exploring new coffee shops.
Tools and frameworks I use to build exceptional software.
React
TypeScript
Next.js
Node.js
Python
Go
React Native
Flutter
Git
Docker
PostgreSQL
MySQL

Alex is one of those rare engineers who can see the big picture while writing impeccable code. His work on our payment engine was nothing short of transformative.
I learned more about distributed systems in 6 months working with Alex than I did in my entire previous career. A true mentor and leader.
Reliable, innovative, and incredibly sharp. Alex delivered our cloud migration 2 months ahead of schedule with zero downtime.
Thoughts on architecture, scaling, and leadership.
I'm always open to discussing new projects, creative ideas, or opportunities to be part of your vision.
