Alex Smirnov is a lead developer based in Prague with a decade of engineering experience building backend, AI, and platform systems that scale from prototype to production. He specializes in TypeScript/Node.js stacks (NestJS, GraphQL, PostgreSQL) and has shipped AI-powered OCR pipelines that replaced human review, ETL frameworks connecting Workforce, POS, and accounting systems, and user-management infrastructures that supported 10x growth. His background ranges from hands-on frontend work to engineering management and short CTO stints, giving him both executional depth and product-level technical leadership. Pragmatic and systems-minded, he’s repeatedly built core backend architectures from scratch to meet high-throughput real-world demands. An interesting detail: he combines production AI services with robust integration tooling, meaning he balances model-driven automation with the glue code that makes enterprise workflows reliable.
