Jim Alexander is a founder and senior software engineer with 11+ years focused on building and deploying microservices and web applications using Java, Spring, Node.js and AWS. Based in San Francisco, he founded Aesthetic Software to consult on cloud-native architectures and has hands-on experience shipping serverless Lambdas, Dockerized microservices, and CI/CD pipelines with Terraform and CloudFormation. At Sunrun and Roostify he drove adoption of infrastructure-as-code and production-ready deployment practices, while earlier roles show deep Java enterprise and content-delivery engineering experience. He combines entrepreneurial grit with practical ops savvy—able to design APIs, implement secure IAM-backed services, and present technical trade-offs to leadership. Notably, some of his work and demos from 2015 onward are publicly available on his GitHub and EC2-hosted projects, reflecting a bias toward reproducible, cloud-deployed solutions.
