Alex Bratsos
Staff Software Engineer at Clerk.com
Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Summary
👤
SeniorAlex Bratsos is a Staff Software Engineer with a decade of experience specializing in front-end and UI/UX, currently based in Zurich and working at Clerk.com after roles at Shopify and Smallpdf. A self-taught engineer and former university drop-out, he brings entrepreneurial grit from co-founding Skriba and years spent launching side projects and freelancing. He excels at turning product-facing complexity into polished interfaces, though he’s candid about a tendency to overengineer trivial tasks and tackle hard problems with a pragmatic, occasionally naive curiosity. Comfortable in both startup and scale-up environments, he has shipped consumer-facing experiences at Skroutz and Shopify that balance design sensitivity with engineering rigor. He’s motivated to start sharing more publicly—planning a blog—so his practical learnings and opinionated trade-offs may appear soon. His career reflects a restless focus on craftsmanship: obsessing about UI details while driving product outcomes end-to-end.
