Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlex Rentz is a Staff Software Engineer based in Atlanta with over 14 years of hands-on experience building high-performance, cloud-native platforms using Java, JavaScript, Python, and TypeScript. Currently driving core platform performance and observability at ServiceNow, he blends deep coding expertise with DevOps ownership around Kubernetes deployments and metrics. His background includes shaping data integration and enterprise connectors at SnapLogic and solving SRE-scale problems at T-Mobile, giving him a strong cross-cloud perspective (AWS, GCP, Salesforce) and practical experience with databases, REST APIs, and evented systems. Formerly a team lead at Cerner, he pairs technical leadership and mentoring with day-to-day implementation, particularly in large-scale Java and Ruby services. Colleagues rely on him to improve code quality, design resilient services, and shepherd complex releases from design through production. He’s comfortable straddling product, ops, and engineering teams—an engineer who still prefers shipping code over meetings.
