Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Quinlivan is a Principal Engineer based in Wellington, New Zealand with 11 years building high-impact native mobile platforms for education and family engagement. He moved from Head of Mobile to a hands-on principal role to focus on architecture, protocols and formal data design, leading efforts to make Storypark’s apps offline-first, memory- and battery-efficient, and eventually-consistent across devices. His work shaped a common, extensible data model for “learning stories” that replaced brittle HTML-based content and enabled reliable native rendering across hundreds of thousands of monthly users. Comfortable blending formal mathematics with startup iteration, he thrives on solving system-level problems that have clear social value—especially where correctness and real-world constraints meet.
