Alexander Dubrawski is a software engineer with eight years of experience specializing in Rust and in-memory databases, currently building data-focused systems at Trade Republic in Berlin. He helped develop SIGNAL, a Rust-based in-memory process-mining query engine at SAP Signavio, improving data loading, query execution, and long-term planning for the system. His open-source and research roots include contributions to Hyrise, a well-known research in-memory database, where he optimized parallel projection, added predicate support, and tuned join and scan execution for performance. Comfortable across languages and stacks (Rust, C++, Python, Arrow/Parquet, AWS), he blends research-grade algorithmic thinking with production engineering. He also created tooling to visualize and stress-test autonomous database behaviors, work that was published and used to evaluate database components. Known for turning low-level performance insights into robust, maintainable systems, he favors pragmatic improvements that scale with real workloads.
