Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlex Shukhman is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building backend-first, cloud-native systems using Go, Node.js/TypeScript, and PostgreSQL for startups in health, privacy, and AI infrastructure. He has repeatedly led core platform efforts—from founding startups to architecting enterprise-grade key management and PII obfuscation services—bringing product-minded engineering to high-growth teams. Comfortable across Kubernetes/Helm, Docker, and serverless patterns on AWS/GCP, Alex pairs implementation depth with mentorship and a track record of shipping the majority of API surface areas at prior companies. Now focused on medical technology at QDG Health, he still gravitates toward projects that tangibly improve safety, health, or sustainability. Outside of code he channels curiosity into ethnomusicology, botany, and visual storytelling, which informs a collaborative, human-centered approach to problem solving.
