Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAleksandr Shubert is a Senior Software Engineer with 11+ years building resilient backend systems in Scala, Kotlin, and Java, currently contributing to JetBrains and the Exposed Kotlin SQL framework. He combines deep database expertise—especially PostgreSQL—with hands-on cloud and container orchestration experience across AWS, GCP, Kubernetes and Terraform, and a pragmatic approach to serverless economics. A functional-programming advocate comfortable with Cats, cats-effect, Monix and Doobie, he architects distributed services, payment and reporting systems, and performance-conscious concurrent solutions. His open-source work on Exposed shows a focus on practical DB improvements (transaction handling, prepared-statement behavior, and SQL features), reflecting a tendency to prefer well-engineered simplicity over hype—Kafka included. Based in Greater Boston, he pairs systems-level Linux/ops skills with a knack for making “strange things” that reliably work.
