Hi, I’m Alex — 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.
Currently at Amazon (6+ years), 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.
