Top SchoolAlexander Curtis is a Lead Engineer based in London with 17 years of hands-on experience building full-stack systems for high-availability consumer and back-office platforms. He’s a polyglot developer comfortable across Node, TypeScript, Clojure, Java and front-end frameworks, and has led teams delivering cloud-native microservices and serverless architectures on AWS. His background spans startups (as a first-employee CTO building an e-commerce platform) to major publishers (driving personalised, CI/CD-driven features at the Financial Times) and complex back-office systems for utilities. Alexander combines pragmatic technical leadership with deep implementation experience in databases, messaging and testing, and often surfaces engineering improvements that reduce operational friction. He favors functional approaches where appropriate and has repeatedly migrated legacy monoliths to resilient microservice ecosystems.
