Alex L is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with 11 years of experience building large-scale, resilient systems across cloud and enterprise environments. At Google he helped evolve Looker and GCP tooling, and previously led efforts that replaced monoliths with microservices and built a device-replicated distributed service that cut false positives from 60% to 0% for 100M+ daily users. He has deep hands-on experience with Java, Python, Android, MapReduce, Pub/Sub, Spanner and other Google infra, and has a strong track record of improving testability and developer velocity (reducing test authoring time from days to minutes). Notably, he architected a Swiss transport microservice platform serving over a million daily users and contributing to $9B+ in revenue, demonstrating both domain impact and production-grade scalability. Practical, metric-driven, and comfortable across backend, data pipelines, and distributed systems, he combines rigorous engineering with a focus on measurable outcomes.
