Summary
Alexander Shishkin is a product-minded Staff Software Engineer based in Amsterdam with over 20 years of experience building data-intensive systems and shipping thoughtful user experiences. He blends hands-on architecture and technical leadership with a keen aesthetic sense and attention to edge cases, favoring pragmatic, language-agnostic solutions while drawing heavily on .NET/C# backends and TypeScript/Angular front-ends. At Fivetran he operates at scale on data integration problems after previous roles solving eDiscovery, survey analytics, and embedded MCU challenges. He enjoys reverse engineering and complex-systems simplification, often designing for long-term evolution rather than short-term fixes. Outside work he pursues cartographic services, interactive data visualizations and microcontroller projects, which inform his emphasis on UX and precise data presentation.
