Summary
Alex Martin is a Senior Engineering Manager with eight years of professional software experience and a long track record of leveling up engineers through teaching, curriculum design, and hands-on mentorship. He blends hands-on full-stack engineering—Rails, React, DevOps—with people leadership, client-facing ownership, and org-wide strategy at Test Double and Build Carolina. A former curriculum engineer for App Academy and long-time volunteer building South Carolina’s tech pipeline, he repeatedly turns instructional work into scalable programs and tools that improve outcomes. Alex values autonomy and remote-first delivery, and brings uncommon interdisciplinary experience—from forensic autopsy tech and IT administration to leading technical nonprofits—that shapes his pragmatic, people-centered approach to shipping software. Outside of work he’s an autodidact polyglot who builds things with his hands and plays multiple instruments, making travel and novel experiences core to how he recharges and leads.
