Summary
Alex Lewis is a software engineer with nine years of multidisciplinary experience who transitioned from mechanical and hardware roots into full-time software because of a passion for iterative problem solving. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he has applied Python, SQL, and C++ to build ETL pipelines, instrument-data ingestion, and analytics for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and now contributes to CHAOS Industries. His background in mechatronics and embedded systems gives him uncommon fluency with raw packet-level debugging, FPGA/firmware interactions, and analog PCB bring-up alongside higher-level data tooling. Alex designs measurement hardware and sensor algorithms as well as the databases and visualization scripts that make their data useful, demonstrating both hands-on prototyping and production-oriented software delivery. Outside work he trains for triathlons and maintains personal projects on GitHub, reflecting a blend of endurance discipline and continuous self-directed learning.
