Backend software developer with 12+ years across various domains and tech stacks.

In my free time I like to explore system internals and low-level programming where performance is critical, and I'd be happy to bring more of that into my day job.

Open to full-time, part-time, and contractor roles.

Senior software engineer with 12+ years across various domains.

Alongside recent experience at an F500 corporation, I've built and owned key backend components at a couple of early-stage startups, one of which grew to hundreds of thousands of users.

Looking primarily for backend roles, also interested in performance-oriented systems-level work (C++, OS, CUDA kernels, etc.), only project experience here, though.

Hello, I'm Alex, backend engineer with 12+ years building distributed systems. Most recently I was at IBM QRadar. Before that, I worked at successful startups as early as the 3rd engineer on the team, so I'm comfortable building backend from scratch and owning new parts of a system. I'm now doing a part-time Georgia Tech MSCS focused on low-level and ML systems (CUDA, vLLM). Open to senior backend roles, and especially interested in LLM inference and systems-level work.

Backend engineer with 12+ years building distributed systems at IBM and early-stage startups.

At IBM, I worked on Kubernetes-based ingestion pipelines, developer tooling, and integrations for both SaaS and on-premise platforms. Before that, I was a founding engineer on an airline ticketing platform, acquired by a major airline.

Open to backend, platform, or developer-tooling roles.
