Summary
Alexander Milkov is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building backend systems in finance-adjacent and high-scale environments, currently working on inventory and catalog services at Square using Go, Rust, gRPC, and cloud-native tooling. He has a strong functional-programming pedigree—Scala, Haskell, Clojure—and has shipped both server-side systems and Scala.js front-ends for companies like The Weather Company, Comcast, and Autotrader. Comfortable across databases from MySQL and PostgreSQL to Cassandra and Elasticsearch, he pairs pragmatic engineering with academic rigor (MS in Computer Science, Georgia Tech). Equally interested in machine learning, blockchain, and finance, he’s the kind of engineer who’ll pick the right language for the problem and “code anything for some spare change.” Based in Atlanta, he brings a blend of systems-level thinking and hands-on implementation across orchestration platforms like Kubernetes and AWS.
