Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Hadley is a software engineer with a decade of experience building tools that accelerate experimental science, currently advancing research software at the AWS Center for Quantum Computing. Trained at Harvey Mudd College, Alex has a strong full-stack background—Python-heavy back ends, TypeScript/React front ends, and serverless automation—used to deliver researcher-facing systems for Caltech quantum photonics and spatial genomics workflows. Notably, they engineered a Python package and storage pipeline that shrank a 1.2 TB experiment database to 15 MB and built real-time GUIs and JupyterLab extensions that materially improved lab productivity. Based in San Francisco, Alex blends rigorous academic collaboration with production-grade engineering, often turning domain-specific complexity into compact, maintainable solutions.
