Summary
Alex Nelson is a software developer in California with 13 years of experience blending mathematical rigor and practical engineering to build data-driven web applications. Trained as a mathematician, numerical analyst, and physicist, he applies quantitative modeling to real products—most recently modeling congressional voting behavior while developing a Clojure/CoffeeScript/SASS web platform. He’s fluent in functional and procedural stacks (Clojure, Ruby on Rails, SQL, JavaScript) and comfortable with systems and tooling across the ML-family, *nix, and CI ecosystems. A fast learner who enjoys solving puzzles, Alex pairs strong analytical instincts with a collaborative, product-focused approach and a penchant for clear technical writing.
