Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Watkins is a software engineering manager with nine years of experience building high-performance, scalable systems across cloud infrastructure, back-end and front-end web, mobile, and robotics. Based in Pineville, NC and trained in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, he has driven reliability and performance improvements at AWS and Amazon — from designing DNS and logging systems that handle trillions of queries to slashing deployment times from hours to minutes. At Addepar he progressed from senior engineer to engineering manager, applying systems and architecture expertise to financial-grade platforms. He has deep hands-on experience migrating massive datasets to NoSQL stores with complete accuracy and converting infrastructure to CDK-driven automation. Alex combines low-level systems thinking with product-focused delivery, often surfacing subtle observability and data-recovery wins that materially reduce cost and risk. He’s equally comfortable prototyping mobile/game apps and leading teams that operate at internet scale.
