Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Gates is a seasoned engineering leader and hands-on web developer with over 14 years of professional experience and a 26-year history building for the web. Currently VP of Engineering at Redan Insurance, he previously scaled engineering teams and systems as Head of Engineering at PetFriendly, where he built the initial product single-handedly and later led cross-functional delivery after fundraising. He combines deep full-stack experience—shipping subscription, fulfillment, inventory, and admin tooling—with a knack for rapid prototyping and product-focused consulting. Based in Omaha, Alex pairs pragmatic technical decisions with customer advocacy, having repeatedly turned constrained legacy systems into scalable web products. Colleagues rely on him for operational stewardship as much as code: he’s comfortable managing servers, data reporting, and the people who run them. An entrepreneurial builder at heart, he often moves between coding, strategy, and operations to help mission-driven teams launch and grow.
