Summary
Alex Leendertsen is a Senior Full Stack Engineer with nearly a decade of hands-on experience designing and owning backend-first systems and customer-facing web apps across property tech, legal tech, and enterprise platforms. He specializes in reliable REST APIs, scalable distributed services, and performance-driven backend pipelines (Java, Kotlin, Python, .NET) while regularly shipping React-based front ends when owning features end-to-end. Alex has a track record of replacing costly third-party dependencies with in-house solutions to reduce risk and operating expense, parallelizing ingestion pipelines to cut processing time by ~90%, and navigating PII- and compliance-sensitive environments at scale. Comfortable both leading architecture and doing the implementation work, he pairs operational rigor (CI/CD, monitoring) with pragmatic UX improvements that remove manual file-based workflows. Based in Austin, he blends system-level optimization with product-minded execution—and his GitHub bio says it succinctly: he converts caffeine into code.
