Alex Strick van Linschoten is a Machine Learning Engineer based in the Netherlands with four years of industry experience building scalable ML and realtime systems. At ZenML he focuses on MLOps and developer experience, contributing infrastructure and integration work to a notable open-source ML ops project. He co-created Ekko, an open-source realtime infrastructure library that handles in-transit message processing and was load-tested to support tens of thousands of concurrent WebSocket connections. Comfortable across Python, Ruby, JavaScript and Go, he pairs hands-on cloud engineering (AWS, Docker, Terraform/CDK, PostgreSQL) with production deployments and CLI tooling. Unusually for an engineer, he holds a PhD in War Studies and is the author of multiple books from field research in Afghanistan, reflecting strong research, documentation and cross-cultural collaboration skills.
