Summary
Alex Madon is a Technical Account Manager with a deep 24+ year history designing, implementing and supporting complex internet-facing systems, now focused on customer success and technical account management at Hyland. He combines hands-on engineering—building N-tier web apps in Python, PHP and Java with PostgreSQL/MySQL/HBase backends—with expert operational knowledge of UNIX/Linux, internet protocols (HTTP, SMTP, DNS, IMAP) and authentication systems (LDAP, SAML, Kerberos). A proven leader in SaaS environments, he has managed and grown technical support teams and bridged customer needs with engineering through roles at Platform.sh and Alfresco. His background as a physicist with a PhD in theoretical plasma physics and postdoctoral research gives him a quantitative, research-driven approach to troubleshooting and system design. Comfortable across storage and file-server integrations (WebDAV, CIFS, NFS) and custom Fuse-based solutions, he excels at untangling complex integrations that span networking, security and application layers. Based in Châtel-Guyon, France, he brings a rare blend of academic rigor and decades of practical, frontline support experience.
