Summary
Alex Kodat is a Senior Software Architect with over three decades of systems experience and a decade in his current senior roles, specializing in server-side JavaScript environments, databases, and low-level systems integration. After a long career as a mainframe assembler programmer, he has transitioned to modern open platforms—designing and coding a V8-based application server/database in C++ and JavaScript that blends Node.js-style runtime capabilities with an integrated database. At Rocket Software he leads a team building OS interfaces and general-purpose APIs, and has contributed fixes to the V8 codebase around threading. His prior work on Model 204 included converting a procedural language to object-oriented SOUL, parallelizing engines, and building high-performance extract/load and profiling tools for large customers. Based in Appleton, WI, Alex combines deep assembler-level insight with contemporary runtime architecture, making him adept at solving performance and threading challenges that span decades of computing paradigms.
