Summary
Alexander Freemantle is a senior software engineering leader with a decade of experience building production systems and leading engineering teams at Nasdaq, now serving as Senior Director of Software Engineering in New York. He combines deep hands‑on skills across Python, C, Java, OCaml and SQL-backed systems with a track record of shipping NLP and risk-management tooling—having built and launched a financial news analysis application during an earlier Nasdaq internship. Equally comfortable hacking the Linux kernel or designing compilers, he brings low-level systems instincts together with modern web and data stacks (Flask, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL). A Columbia computer science alum and NCAA Division I distance runner, he pairs disciplined team leadership with a personal interest in disruptive technologies like autonomous vehicles, space, and wearables. Notably, his background spans both research-style projects (building a Java-like language with LLVM/OCaml) and high-impact enterprise delivery, making him adept at bridging experimental ideas and production-grade software.
