Summary
Alex Pereira is a Senior Software Engineer based in Boston with 13 years of experience building scalable consumer-facing systems across startups and enterprise environments. He brings strong Java, TypeScript, JavaScript, SQL, and AWS expertise, and has shifted between full-stack product roles and SRE/DevOps leadership—most recently improving observability at Centene using Prometheus and OpenTelemetry. Alex combines hands-on platform work (Zipcar, DoorKnoq) with product-focused engineering to deliver web platforms that connect users and maintain high reliability. Comfortable owning both application and infrastructure concerns, he has a track record of optimizing alerting, resource allocation, and monitoring for production systems. His career path shows a pragmatic balance of rapid product delivery and long-term operational excellence, informed by an associate degree in computer science and a pattern of short, impact-driven engagements. Colleagues describe him as the engineer who can move between front-end polish and backend resilience without losing sight of user experience.
