Top SchoolAlexander Weavers is a software engineer with eight years of experience building scalable backend systems and developer-focused tooling, fluent in Python, Swift, and JavaScript. He has delivered high-throughput, fault-tolerant services at AWS—architecting an async multi-stage task processor for EC2 and contributing to Trainium server deployment and diagnostics—while also leading a FinTech platform that saved $2M+ annually. Comfortable across full stacks, he has built Flask microservices, Docker/Kubernetes deployments, and React/TypeScript frontends for both consumer and internal enterprise products. An active open-source contributor, he improved Python VM behavior in the notable beeware/batavia project by fixing string formatting and numeric precision edge cases and strengthening tests. A longtime tinkerer who began programming at age 12, he pairs deep hands-on coding with a knack for turning messy operational requirements into reliable, production-ready solutions. Based in Seattle, he’s a practiced public speaker (PyBay 2020) who balances pragmatic engineering with curiosity-driven experimentation.
