Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Kim is a Head of Engineering with 11 years of experience building cloud-native platforms and high-performing engineering teams, currently leading Syntage’s platform and software efforts from Florida. He specializes in cost-conscious, resilient infrastructure—driving zonal autoscaling, zero-scaling for savings, and migrations from ECS Fargate and MySQL to Kubernetes and PostgreSQL that halved API latencies and reduced instance sizes. A hands-on leader who codes across backend (PHP, Go) and frontend stacks (Next.js, React, TypeScript), he also champions developer productivity through CI/CD, ephemeral test environments, and Pulumi infrastructure as code. His background spans large e-commerce and startup contexts where he scaled operations, cut deployment times in half, and shortened PR lifecycles from a week to under an hour. Colleagues know him for bridging platform and product teams, making pragmatic product decisions, and prioritizing customer-facing reliability and developer autonomy.
