Summary
Alex Ko is a software engineer with nine years of experience building reliable, production-grade infrastructure and developer platforms for startups and growth-stage companies. He has a strong track record of improving developer experience and deployment velocity—from leading a CI/CD revamp that cut image sizes and pull times dramatically to building an internal developer platform and CLI for self-service microservice deployments. Comfortable across backend systems, Docker, Terraform, Celery, and AWS messaging, he focuses on practical automation that scales teams as much as systems. Based in Bellevue, WA, he pairs a philosophy background with pragmatic engineering, often translating complex workflows into clear tooling and documentation that drives adoption. An unassuming tinkerer (GitHub bio: "potato"), he favors dogfooding solutions to ensure they truly work in production.
