Summary
Alex Saunin is a technology leader and hands-on Head of Development with over 20 years of software engineering and architecture experience, currently leading a FinTeach platform managing $1B+ in assets from Dubai. He has a proven track record of building and scaling cross-functional teams and shipping complex cloud-native systems end-to-end—often turning prototypes into production in months rather than years. Deeply pragmatic, he combines backend mastery in Java/Kotlin, Spring Boot, event-driven systems and modern infra (K8s, Terraform, ArgoCD) with applied AI work around LLMs and observability. His career spans fintech, mobility, and global IoT telemetry where he balanced 24/7 operational reliability with rapid feature delivery. Notably, he has repeatedly delivered mission-critical payments and crypto wallet features (NFC, PCI-DSS, custody) at scale while also architecting multi-tenant portfolio consolidation and market-data pipelines.
