About
Hi, I’m Alex — Staff Software Development Engineer, Backend Expert & Mentor.
With over a decade of experience building scalable backend systems and cloud-native applications, I’ve worked across industries—from social platforms to cloud infrastructure—delivering reliable, high-performance software.
With almost 7 years experience at Amazon, and also as Staff Engineer @ Solaris, I focus on backend development, API design, and improving developer productivity. I’ve also contributed to Amazon Web Services, where I architected large-scale billing systems and launched greenfield services.
I’m passionate about functional programming (Scala, Kotlin, Java), distributed systems, and AWS cloud technologies. Beyond coding, I’ve acted as a Scrum Master, promoted knowledge-sharing, and mentored junior engineers.
Areas I can help with:
• Backend system design (REST, microservices, event-driven architecture)
• Scala, Java, Kotlin, Rust, and cloud-native development on AWS
• Career growth (from junior to senior/principal roles)
• Preparing for interviews at big tech companies
• Functional programming, testing, and CI/CD best practices
Whether you’re building your first side project, navigating a job change, or scaling your systems, I’d be glad to support your journey.
Let’s build something great—together.

I sought mentorship to get clearer direction as I strengthened my backend skills and prepared for interviews. Alex took the time to understand my situation personally, and we worked through my challenges one by one. He gave me thoughtful feedback and offered practical support. I appreciated how personal and helpful the experience was. It helped me feel more focused and confident about my professional growth.
