Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Lokk is a product-minded Lead Backend Engineer and founding engineer with 15 years of software experience and 8+ years focused on startups and mid-size companies across the US and EU. He repeatedly rescues critical deadlines and launches complex systems quickly—most recently leading a four-month launch, enabling 120 scientific model updates, and delivering the first paying users and sponsors for a research-driven product. Deep expertise in Python, FastAPI, Django, SQL/Postgres, microservices, AWS, TDD and CI/CD is paired with hands-on full-stack work (React, modern frontend stacks) and pragmatic technical debt management. He has designed multi-app ecosystems including blockchain integrations and scaled products now adding tens of thousands of users per month. Colleagues rely on him to stabilize fragile codebases under pressure and to translate domain-specific workflows (scientific or ad-billing) into repeatable delivery pipelines. Based in Moscow, he blends engineering craftsmanship with a founder’s urgency to ship usable, testable products.
