Alexander Saenen is a pragmatic CTO and software engineer with a decade of experience building robust, data-driven systems and custom ETL pipelines for event, IoT, and enterprise use cases. He combines a rigorously engineering-first mindset—prioritizing thoughtful design, code quality, and maintainability—with hands-on delivery across backend, real-time JS, and ML stacks (Python/TensorFlow). His recent work includes consolidating ticketing ecosystems with tailored matching algorithms and running mission-critical on‑prem dashboards and sensor networks for large clients. Comfortable leading both architecture and client-facing onboarding, he brings uncommon depth in data modeling (Postgres warehouses, validation and deduplication) and a functional-programming curiosity that informs elegant, scalable solutions. Based in Mannheim, he continually experiments with Rust and category-theory-inspired approaches to matching and indexing, making him as focused on foundations as on shipping results.
