About Me

Senior Backend Engineer & Systems Architect

My name is Alex. I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over 20 years of experience specializing in Perl and TypeScript development. I build reliable backend systems, APIs, and infrastructure that solve real business problems.

I focus on system architecture, backend development, and DevOps. My approach is practical: I deliver simple, robust solutions that teams can understand and maintain over time. I'm an active CPAN contributor and open source developer.

Currently, I'm focused on applying ML and AI technologies to improve developer productivity, automate repetitive tasks, and enable data-driven business decisions.
