Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Howard is a senior software engineer with eight years of experience building full-stack web applications and cloud-native services, currently working across Alert Logic and LevelBlue. He blends a passion for audio/visual tech and UI design with practical expertise in React, Redux, Python (Sanic/Flask), Docker, Kubernetes on AWS EKS, and CI/CD with GitHub Actions. His background includes migrating legacy ExtJS UIs to React, containerizing backends, and developing platform services and product APIs integrating cloud storage providers like Google Drive, Dropbox, and SharePoint. Early experience in desktop applications, games, and low-level media work using SDL2 and the FFmpeg API gives him a useful systems-level perspective uncommon in typical web engineers. Based in Bradenton, Florida, he brings both academic rigor—studies in computer science—and an astrophysics-tinged curiosity reflected in his GitHub persona, combining data-science thinking with hands-on implementation.
