Summary
Alex Shi is a software engineer and repeat founder with nine years of experience building product-focused systems across startups and large tech companies. He co-founded Formable after engineering roles at Fractional and Zip and internships at AWS, Rippling, Faire, and others, giving him deep exposure to chat systems, HRIS, RDS, and email/tomography pipelines. A University of Waterloo CS graduate who continued studies at Georgia Tech, he blends practical product delivery with hands-on backend and data engineering experience.
