Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Pilon is a Solutions Architect with 12 years of hands-on experience designing and delivering backend systems, DevOps, and security-focused operations, currently leading architecture and SOC 2 efforts at ANVIL. A Carleton Software Engineering graduate and pragmatic polyglot, he brings deep Python and Linux expertise, solid PostgreSQL skills, and a background in Ruby and Node to full lifecycle projects across public and private sectors. He routinely toggles between coding, reviewing, mentoring junior developers, and parachuting in to diagnose or remediate production issues, preferring practical, reductionist solutions that also respect system-wide context. Comfortable with Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS (SAA-C01), Alex pairs broad operational experience with an appetite for web, networking, and systems programming. Not actively looking for roles, he’s nonetheless an approachable local tech community participant who often architects when not busy fixing what others overlooked.
