Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Reitbort is a Principal Software Engineer with 12+ years of experience architecting and shipping cross-platform products, currently driving engineering work at Microsoft on Excel across desktop, web and mobile. He combines deep C# and .NET Windows expertise with modern web stack skills (TypeScript, React) and low-level C/C++ experience used in coauthoring and high-availability features. His background spans databases (MS SQL, Oracle, Postgre, SQLite), rich client visualization, and mobile (Android/iOS), reflecting a rare full-stack fluency from embedded algorithms to cloud-served web UIs. At Skyline he built streaming servers and 3D geospatial tooling, and at Microsoft he’s led design, on-call mitigation and delivery of critical Excel Online capabilities. Alex holds computer science degrees from Technion and the Open University of Israel and brings a pragmatic focus on reliability and performance in large-scale collaboration systems. Colleagues describe him as a steady technical lead who can move between low-level performance work and product-facing front-end features with equal confidence.
