Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Schussler is a technical leader with 14+ years of hands-on experience designing and operating distributed, fault-tolerant systems across payment, telecom and web industries. He has deep practical expertise in Erlang, Python, Java and a wide array of tooling and datastores (Riak, Mnesia, PostgreSQL, Hadoop, RabbitMQ) from work at Klarna and Cisco building horizontally scalable services. Trained in mathematics and self-taught from the Commodore 64 era through Amiga and UNIX, he brings a long-term curiosity for low-level detail and functional programming paradigms. Comfortable leading teams and projects, he pairs system-level thinking with pragmatic delivery methods like Kanban and Scrum. A longtime open-source advocate and *nix user, he values understanding the tools beneath production systems rather than treating them as black boxes. Outside work he channels precision and creativity into bouldering and oil/acrylic painting, a combination that echoes his mix of technical rigor and artistic curiosity.
