Summary
Alexander Garcia is a Software Engineer II with nine years of hands-on experience building full-stack and backend systems, currently shipping features at LPL Financial.

Alex’s background spans conservation tech, university research, and student leadership, where he connected speech-to-text, pose estimation, and video processing to create accessible sign language tooling. Comfortable across cloud, Linux, and agile workflows, he pairs pragmatic engineering with mentorship—having grown a Developer Student Clubs chapter to 125 members and taught CS summer programs. A curious problem-solver, he often improves reliability and performance by digging into lower-level data and algorithmic bottlenecks.
