Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Bird is a seasoned software engineer with 15 years of experience building production-grade infrastructure, developer tools, and game integrations from California. He combines deep backend and DevOps expertise—terraform, Kubernetes, BigQuery and distributed systems—with hands-on product work in game modding, having turned a personal co-driver mod into BeamNG.drive’s official Rally Mode. His career spans startups and scale-ups (Coinbase, Literal, Qualia) where he reduced costs, sped up CI, migrated large clusters, and automated complex workflows. Alexander has a knack for practical automation and developer experience improvements—examples include a custom SSL/video capture tool, a CI system that cut test times fivefold, and a multi-tenant migration that saved $75k/year. Equally comfortable in Python, Ruby, Swift and cloud tooling, he blends systems thinking with a passion for real-time simulation and racing culture that surfaces in both his hobby projects and professional impact.
