Top SchoolAlexander Wauck is a founder and seasoned software engineer with a decade of experience building dependable Linux-first systems, DevOps, and cloud security solutions from Minnesota. He has hands-on experience shipping large-scale infrastructure—most notably architecting and migrating Amazon’s Direct Connect monitoring stack across regions and modernizing its Java test practices for deployment to 100,000+ EC2 instances.

As the owner of Iron Star Consulting he advises on DevOps, cloud, and security, and he’s candid about fit and values—he requires full transparency about prospective employers. His background spans startups to hyperscale environments, reflecting a rare mix of consulting empathy and production-scale engineering.
