Summary
Alexander Lowey-weber is a Principal Software Engineer with deep expertise in backend systems, primarily Java and PostgreSQL, and a career stretching back to early web and geospatial services at HERE Technologies and NAVTEQ. He combines low-level systems knowledge (cache coherency, NUMA, TCP/IP) with cloud-native operations—managing EC2, Docker/ECS deployments and multi-region HA using Global Accelerator. His work includes production-proven geospatial services (proximity and corridor search with custom geo-indexing), an enduring XML Import/Export API, and the Geospace API that evolved into the open-source XYZ-Hub. Comfortable across version-control and CI tooling from CVS/SVN to GitLab and Jenkins/Bamboo, he also built payment terminal software and nuanced authorization systems (attribute-level permissions for embargoed regions). Based in Trier, Germany, he brings a pragmatic, longevity-minded approach to architecture: designing features that outlive original deadlines and operational expectations.
