Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Alksne is a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 11 years of experience building distributed, cloud-native systems and developer-facing platforms from Toronto. He’s shipped production services at scale—designing cross-cloud integrations at Shopify, leading microservices and protobuf-based contracts at Nest Wealth, and architecting serverless pipelines and monitoring for mission-critical workflows. Alex blends hands-on coding (TypeScript, Python, AWS/GCP, GraphQL, React) with pragmatic engineering leadership: he’s led teams, improved developer experience, and hunted down security and reliability issues including CI/CD and runtime compromises. He has a knack for turning messy integrations into observable, auditable systems (e.g., outage-monitoring tooling and Datadog instrumentation) and for making complex infrastructure approachable through tooling and automation.
