About

Building something cool in the AI agent space. Curious? Let's talk. ======= Hi, I'm Alex! I'm passionate about working with amazing people to deliver delightful products through software engineering. I love learning and building fast! I find joy in shipping and iterating rapidly to earn customer love. From serving quant researchers at Citadel to enterprise ML teams at Scale AI to enterprises at Rippling, I feel honored to have built for some of the smartest people working on the world’s hardest problems. My experience includes Python, C++, TypeScript, Django, Node.js, React, Snowflake/SQL, MongoDB, Kafka, GCP, AWS, and prompt engineering! I’m curious to touch more infra like PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Redis, and MQs. Big fan of joyful modern work tools like Linear, Arc, Fathom, Warp.dev, Loom, and Cursor. Honorable mention to Datadog, Slack, and Zoom! Let's chat about building something epic together!
