Summary
Alex Larsen is a software support engineer and full-stack developer with 10 years of hands-on experience building web, desktop, and security tooling. He has a strong track record in application security—designing GraphQL pentesting tools, forking and adapting open-source SAST solutions, and triaging bug bounty reports while developing security-focused microservices in production. Comfortable across Elixir, Python, Ruby, C#, and containerized AWS deployments, he combines systems work (Ansible, Docker) with practical incident and threat analysis. Alex paused a full-time career to pursue a B.S. in Computer Engineering while continuing part-time engineering roles, reflecting a deliberate push toward hardware and low-level systems design. He’s passionate about Free Software, privacy, and federated systems, and aims to eventually design end-to-end prototypes from processor to compiler. A hands-on tinkerer, he’s also led small teams on prototypes and museum hardware exhibits involving 3D printing and custom PCBs.
