Top SchoolAlex Ball is a Full Stack Engineer with 10 years of experience building production-grade web and mobile platforms from startup to enterprise scale. Based in Cambridge, MA, he currently develops a customer platform at Cyvl.ai and has previously shipped cross-platform features at Cantina, Verily (Onduo), and Google (Wear OS Assistant integration). He blends front-end (React, React Native, Android) and back-end (Node, Rails, serverless, Docker) expertise with a physics-rooted, algorithmic mindset honed at Caltech and in computational roles like utility-scale solar modeling. Comfortable owning problem specification through implementation and timelines, Alex has repeatedly turned complex domain requirements—healthcare workflows, voice integration, and optimization algorithms—into reliable, user-facing products. A self-described "Typist," he pairs pragmatic coding craft with a taste for automation and tooling that surfaces in his work automating shipments, CAD drawing generation, and hardware experiment control.
