Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlex Evanczuk is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with 12 years of experience building product infrastructure and customer-facing systems, most recently at Gusto and currently at Bridge. He blends backend rigor (notably improving code health and type safety in Shopify's packwerk) with product instincts from startups like SimplyInsured and Sendbloom, where he ran A/B tests and built analytics to materially boost conversions. Comfortable across Ruby on Rails, Python/Django, and frontend stacks, Alex focuses on scalable, maintainable systems that support healthcare, education, and social-impact products. He pairs technical delivery with user-centered research and has a knack for automating workflows—an interest reflected since early roles that combined data engineering and analytics. Based in Vermont after six years in San Francisco, he’s equally likely to be refactoring core classes as he is doing acroyoga or drumming.
