Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Fox is a Software Development Engineer II with 17 years of engineering experience and a strong backend and data focus, currently applying supply chain optimization at Amazon in New York. He brings a breadth of language and platform experience—Python, Kotlin, Java, PySpark, AWS Glue, Airflow, SageMaker and Parquet-backed data pipelines—alongside hands-on work modernizing legacy systems and migrating databases under tight deadlines. Alex has driven ad-bidding reliability at CarGurus, built data ingestion and NLP pipelines for content enrichment, and designed testing strategies that supported remote teams during COVID-19. He mentors engineers, founded and grew internal DEI and ethics groups at multiple companies, and regularly balances technical tradeoffs with stakeholder needs as a long-term freelance consultant. Notably, he has investigated racial bias in sentiment analysis and promoted adoption of tooling and processes (Atlassian suite) that improved project delivery. Trained at MIT, he pairs practical production instincts with a curiosity for both low-level systems (e.g., firmware and tape-drive interfaces) and applied machine learning.
