Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Skrynnyk is a Staff Software Engineer in San Francisco with a decade of hands-on experience designing and leading embedded systems for high-throughput genomic instruments. He progressed from founding embedded engineer at ReadCoor—where he authored a 25kLOC distributed framework and maintained a 60kLOC product repository—to technical lead roles at 10x Genomics driving core instrument control and performance. His work spans low-level C/C++ DSP and real-time control, front-end and backend stacks (Node, React, Python, Cython), and cross-domain subsystems including optics, motion, fluidics, and thermal management. Alex blends experimental wet-lab insight from his Harvard Medical School research with production-grade software engineering, enabling tight hardware-software integration that accelerated productization of in-situ sequencing. Colby-educated in biochemistry, molecular biology, and computer science, he’s known for turning complex physical system requirements into robust, maintainable embedded platforms.
