Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Kesling is a pragmatic technology leader and founder with nine years of professional experience building end-to-end products that prioritize measurable customer impact. As Co-founder & CTO of Empathic and CTO of Caurus, he blends hands-on engineering across Rust, TypeScript, Python, C++, Java and Go with strategic product and technical advising for startups. His background spans mobile AR/VR and computer vision research at Google to planet-scale distributed systems, giving him rare fluency across prototyping, production, and cloud-native operations. He runs an engineering practice (Adjective Noun, LLC) that experiments broadly — from WebAssembly and Kubernetes to mobile and server tooling — and often steps in as a technical advisor where founding teams lack senior engineering leadership. Colleagues describe him as a nerdy generalist who enjoys server administration and helping others, which underpins his collaborative approach to solving hard business and technical problems.
