Summary
Alex Buschle is a Senior Software Engineer based in Hamburg with 15+ years building and optimizing backend systems, primarily in Ruby/Rails and Python. He has repeatedly driven performance improvements (shrinking endpoints from seconds to sub-100ms), led migrations off Heroku to AWS, and instituted observability and code-quality tooling that became part of teams' workflows. Alex has experience at scale—working on projects impacting millions of users at Shopify and cost-conscious infra changes at SEON—while keeping stacks secure and CVEs patched promptly. He blends hands-on optimizations (DB IO, caching, CI) with developer-facing improvements like internationalization tooling and test-coverage initiatives. A pragmatic engineer, he pairs legacy modernization with measurable operational wins, from reducing replica lag to cutting platform costs.
