Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Huras is a co-founder and CTO with 12 years of engineering experience focused on ad-tech, big data, machine learning, and distributed systems, honed during a long tenure at Twitter. He combines deep systems-level expertise with practical data engineering skills, having built production pipelines and attribution systems early in his career and scaled ML-driven ads infrastructure at a major platform. Now based off-grid in the Sierra Nevada, he’s translating that product and systems intuition into a new startup, Halcyon, where he leads technical strategy and hands-on execution. Colleagues would describe him as a "machine brain mechanic" and "system archeologist"—someone who reverse-engineers complex systems and wrangles infrastructure with a tinkerer’s curiosity. His background in Systems Design Engineering gives him a systems-thinking approach to product architecture and operational resilience.
