Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlex Hemsath is a pragmatic software engineer based in Portland, Oregon with six years in engineering roles at New Relic and a decade-plus background in QA and test engineering for startups and applied-computer-vision products. He moves fluidly between hands-on development, QA automation, CI/build systems, and installer tooling—skills honed at OMNI AI and BRS Labs where he built test infrastructure for ML and video-surveillance systems. At New Relic he progressed from QA to software engineering, bringing a tester’s attention to reliability and observability into production code. Comfortable supervising teams and coordinating cross-functional schedules, he also writes and maintains the tooling that keeps releases moving. His BA in Computer Science from Rice underpins a methodical approach to complex systems and a taste for building durable developer workflows. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic solutions that balance shipping features with sustainable test and build practices.
