Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Ethier is a Backend Software Engineer with eight years of experience building reliable, high-throughput services for logistics, big data, and AI integrations. He has driven production-critical systems at Deliverr/Shopify and Deliverr-spun Flexport, delivering sub-second, five‑nines uptime services like container-fitting and demand-forecast pipelines that powered two-day fulfillment guarantees. At MITRE he led large-scale data ingestion and secure cloud analytics projects, co-inventing and authoring a patent for automated analytical environment deployment. More recently he built partner integrations and RAG workflows connecting multiple LLM vendors at Datavolo, now part of Snowflake, blending data engineering with practical LLM tooling. Comfortable across stacks—from object-oriented design to Kubernetes, Terraform/Ansible, and DevOps—he pairs systems-level thinking with a tinkerer’s curiosity (and an affinity for designing overly complicated board games).
