Summary
Alex Scrobot is a seasoned software leader and VP of Software Engineering based in Novi Sad with over a decade of hands-on experience building backend and distributed systems. He has led teams and architected large-scale microservice platforms—over 100 services—for fintech and consumer products, driving measurable gains in stability, performance, and revenue. A pragmatic tech lead who still codes, Alex blends deep expertise in Kotlin/Java, Spring/Quarkus, Kafka and Kubernetes with cross-functional delivery skills across data pipelines, payment rails and high-availability messaging systems. His track record includes launching card processing with 99.9% SLA, improving app stability by 50%, and shipping data platforms that unlocked analytics and growth. Comfortable translating business needs into architecture, he also mentors engineers, reduces technical debt, and has repeatedly accelerated time-to-market through process and tooling improvements. An atypical background—formal education in a non-CS field—underscores his practical, self-driven path into complex distributed engineering and leadership.
