Summary
Igal Alkon is a seasoned Senior C/C++ developer based in Israel with over 14 years of professional experience and a 25-year hands-on history in software craftsmanship. He has designed and shipped resilient backend and IoT systems across startups and scale-stage companies, from high-throughput real-time platforms to cloud-native AWS IoT and data pipelines using Spark and EMR.
