Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlec Clews is a pragmatic technology principal with over 40 years of experience delivering consulting, software implementation and process improvement across enterprise and SMB contexts, and 15 years in focused roles shaping developer and partner integrations. He spent more than a decade at PaperCut guiding API adoption, pre-sales technical strategy and agile delivery, and now runs Alec The Geek Technology offering local IT consulting, community training in personal cybersecurity, and accessible 1:1 support. An “old school” software geek, Alec combines hands-on tinkering with Raspberry Pi, Arduino and containers with a long history of configuration management, release engineering and developer tooling. He mentors and trains locally to help people stay safely connected and productive online, and is writing a book to capture that practical knowledge. Based in Greater Melbourne, Alec pairs deep technical roots with a community-first approach—often swapping code and docs for beach walks and coffee while helping others get the most from their devices.
