Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Ruzenhack is a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with 11+ years building scalable backend systems, delightful frontends, and cross-platform mobile experiences across startups and enterprises in Brazil and Europe. Currently on IOTA's Product Adoption team, he blends deep JavaScript/TypeScript expertise (React, Next.js, Node) with backend languages like Python, Go and C#, and hands-on blockchain wallet and protocol work. He has a track record of reducing operational overhead (e.g., a document platform that cut costs by 45%), contributing key open-source wallet features, and creating monitoring infrastructure that averted security risks in distributed systems. Alex pairs technical craftsmanship with strategic product thinking, frequently collaborating with design and product teams to align engineering work with business outcomes. Based in Lisbon and educated at Goldsmiths and UFRJ, he brings a holistic, anticipatory approach to engineering that favors durable solutions over quick fixes. Quirky note: when not architecting systems he’s likely eating pudding—his GitHub bio’s succinct manifesto.
