Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlex Golec is a Senior Staff Engineer and seasoned software leader with 9 years of experience building distributed systems for AI/ML, computational mathematics, and high-throughput model serving. He has led teams at Netflix, Patreon, and Reddit designing low-latency, GPU-accelerated inference platforms, real-time feature pipelines, and experimentation infrastructure that power ranking, personalization, and LLM workloads. At Netflix he managed cross-cutting model serving frameworks and cluster orchestration for production-scale ML, and his background at Google includes designing revenue-driving automated bidding algorithms and massive distributed data processing. He's an active open-source contributor (notably to a robust TD Ameritrade Python API) and combines deep quantitative instincts with hands-on backend engineering. Now focused on stopping social engineering attacks at Doppel, he brings both product-minded leadership and a math-heavy CS foundation from Columbia and Fordham. Colleagues describe him as someone who marries rigorous experiment design with pragmatic platform engineering to ship reliable, measurable ML systems.
