Aleksei Makhrov is a seasoned software engineer with 11+ years building web-scale frontends and full-stack systems, now at Meta after a six-year tenure as Principal Frontend Engineer at Crunchbase. He specializes in web architecture, performance optimization, and developer experience, and recently led the design and launch of an LLM-based AI Search feature using RAG at Crunchbase. His background spans technical leadership roles at ScribbleLive and Visually and earlier systems and database work dating back to InnoPharm, giving him strong end-to-end product and data experience. Based in Berkeley, he combines hands-on implementation with architecture-level thinking and a track record of shipping production AI integrations. An MPEI-trained computer scientist, he is equally comfortable mentoring teams and diving into frontend performance or AI tooling details that materially improve user and developer outcomes.
