Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Parker is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 12 years of experience building product-first web applications and APIs, currently leading FitSpace Pro — a coaching platform he designed from user research through launch using Elixir, Phoenix, PostgreSQL, and an EmberJS frontend. He combines hands-on backend API work and UX-minded frontend collaboration with product discovery skills honed from interviewing nearly a hundred trainers to validate features and iterate in part-time, agile rhythms. Previously he led engineering practices and student product teams at Lambda School and shipped infrastructure and design systems at companies like Big Cartel and Strala, often bridging design and engineering to keep implementations pragmatic. Alex’s background spans startups, consulting, and product roles where he’s repeatedly simplified tech choices to match real user needs, and he brings a founder’s appetite for wearing every hat—from devops to customer interviews. Based in American Fork, Utah, he pairs a business management degree with deep technical fluency and an unusual focus on building fitness-tech that aligns developer tradeoffs with coach workflows.
