Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlec Clowes is a software engineer with 14 years of experience building data-driven systems across consumer, scientific, and energy sectors, now focused on cloud-native applications and ML-enabled services. He has led engineering teams and delivered production infrastructure—from Debezium streaming and ClickHouse analytics to Kubernetes-deployed AI models and HPC workflows for binding free energy calculations. Comfortable across Python, Postgres, FastAPI, and orchestration tooling, Alec blends hands-on coding with architectural judgment and occasional people leadership. Based in Mammoth Lakes, CA, he pairs a Stanford engineering background with a practical bent for prototyping novel data stacks (Snowflake, DuckDB, ClickHouse) before standardizing on pragmatic open-source choices. Outside work he’s an avid mountain hiker, a detail that reflects his preference for durable, well-tested solutions built to weather real-world conditions.
