Top SchoolAlex Strand is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years building fast, accessible front-end experiences and GraphQL-powered APIs for large consumer brands. Currently owning the React frontend and GraphQL server for Express and Bonobos, he combines pragmatic e-commerce product work with a strong focus on design systems and accessibility. He’s driven migrations that materially improved developer velocity—moving large component ecosystems from Webpack to Vite—and has modernized legacy stacks from YUI to TypeScript/React at earlier roles. Comfortable across the full front-end stack (React, Tailwind, Vite, GraphQL) and experienced in observability and performance work, Alex blends attention to user experience with measurable business impact. Based in Columbus, Ohio, he brings a designer’s sensibility to engineering problems and a history of shipping safer, faster interfaces at scale.
