Summary
Alex Curtis is a director-level technology leader specializing in cloud architecture, cloud security, and serverless platforms, with 11 years of experience bridging software development and infrastructure. He leads DevSecOps and infrastructure strategy at Benchmark Analytics, guiding cloud migrations, automation, and security for production systems built on AWS services like Lambda, DynamoDB, and Fargate. Originally a marketing technologist, he leverages that background to design observability, tracking, and integration solutions that balance business outcomes with privacy-forward security practices—a pivot he made deliberately in 2016.

Based in Boise, Idaho, he is pursuing advanced research in computer science (PhD) while continuing to mentor and scale cloud-first engineering teams.
