Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Hicks is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building and scaling flagship web products, currently driving backend systems at Health Note from Indianapolis. He combines deep backend expertise—TypeScript, Go, Python, .NET, PostgreSQL, gRPC and cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Terraform)—with hands-on full-stack work on small teams, repeatedly modernizing legacy systems and cutting costs (e.g., an 80% runtime reduction saving $8K/month). Alex has led teams, hired engineers, and delivered SaaS platforms from concept to production in under six months, while mentoring others and owning devops responsibilities. Comfortable across messaging patterns (Redis, SQS), APIs (REST, GraphQL, WebSockets) and databases large and small, he favors pragmatic, reliable architectures that scale. Outside work he’s a musician and cyclist, and his decade of GitHub experimentation reflects a continual curiosity that informs practical engineering decisions.
