Top SchoolAlex Beltran is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building distributed, production-grade systems for smart buildings and access control. He combines academic research—developing novel embedded-sensor occupancy detection and predictive energy-saving algorithms—with hands-on commercial engineering as a co-founding engineer at Alsen and as a senior engineer at WeWork and Google. At WeWork he led a squad to build a Kafka Streams runtime and an extensible Go-based physical access layer that resolved ordering guarantees across six microservices. Comfortable across the stack, he has shipped backend services, API proxies, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes deployments, and device-facing BACnet integrations. An active contributor to open-source tooling for XML-to-JSON mapping, he’s attentive to edge cases like whitespace handling in parsers—an example of his focus on robustness. Based in Emeryville, CA, he brings entrepreneurial grit and a research-driven approach to making built environments smarter and more efficient.
