Top SchoolJ Alexander is a seasoned software leader with 11+ years building scalable enterprise and startup systems, currently directing Design Systems for Marketing at Prudential. He blends full‑stack engineering (Node.js, Java, Backbone/Bootstrap, Redis, Postgres, Solr) with program-level delivery experience (Scrum/XP, PMP) to turn complex business requirements into production-grade platforms. As a hands-on architect and former lead at Gravy and multiple consultancies, he has designed real-time analytics and messaging stacks using Kafka, Twitter Storm, and Redis, and led teams through CI/CD, testing, and iterative UX prototyping.
