Alex Schittko is a pragmatic software engineer and operator with 11 years of hands-on experience who balances production-first SRE practices with entrepreneurial leadership as President of a rental property management company. Currently a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, he designs scalable infrastructure, authors telemetry and tests, and serves on on-call rotations to keep live sites reliable. Prior roles as CTO and Infrastructure Lead show a track record of improving availability, cutting cloud costs, and automating deployments across AWS, Terraform, container and serverless stacks. Comfortable across Java, Python, Node.js and multiple datastores, he pairs deep technical craft with business ownership—running an SMB IT consultancy and a property business while shipping production systems. A self-described Swiss army knife and cat herder, he brings practical problem-solving, a taste for quality, and a knack for turning operational pain points into automated solutions.
