Alexander Ma is a Software Engineer II with nine years of hands-on experience and a strong backend focus, currently building resilient services at Carta while completing a Software Engineering degree at the University of Waterloo. He specializes in Django, Domain Driven Design, and CI/CD-driven workflows, and has practical experience implementing gRPC endpoints, Kafka-based event architectures, and both scalable microservices and monoliths. His work on risk and cap-table domains shows a knack for bridging product needs with secure, production-ready integrations (including Salesforce and third-party transaction monitoring). Outside engineering he channels the same discipline into music and fitness—often found playing guitar or tackling Soulsborne games—bringing a detail-oriented, iterative mindset to both code and craft.
