Alex Kalinin is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable backend systems and improving developer experience across fast-growing startups. He has led migrations from Heroku to GCP using Terraform, cut infrastructure costs by over 50%, and optimized platform and DB performance to handle peak seasonal load. As a tech lead at Tray.io he scaled teams from single digits to 25+, introduced testing and CI practices, and built internal tooling to automate deployments and multi-region replication of hundreds of integrations. Alex excels at turning ad-hoc teams into structured engineering orgs with observability, alerting, and processes that enable reliable growth, and he brings a practical focus on mentoring and developer productivity that often goes unnoticed behind engineering metrics. Based in Stony Stratford, he combines hands-on implementation with strategic operational improvements to make platforms both performant and maintainable.
