Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Kong is a seasoned technology leader and backend engineer with over two decades of experience building scalable SaaS and JAMStack CMS solutions from Berlin. As former CTO of Styla he led 10–15 engineers to create a next-generation, event-driven microservices platform that delivered 90+ page-speed scores and automated image processing and content recommendation features. More recently he cut publish latency by 40x and reduced infrastructure needs twentyfold as Senior Backend Engineer at Perspective, while also driving pricing, permissions, and CRM initiatives as Team Lead. Comfortable across Java, TypeScript, Python, AWS and Terraform, he blends hands-on optimization with product leadership and a knack for algorithm-driven UX. An often-understated strength is his ability to translate research-grade techniques (e.g., matrix-factorization recommendations, OpenCV image pipelines) into reliable, production-ready services.
