Ex-Wall Street suit turned Full Stack Software Engineer

I’m Alex Smith — a senior full-stack software engineer with over 9 years of experience building fast, elegant, and resilient systems. I began my career on Wall Street, where I developed a deep understanding of performance, precision, and high-stakes infrastructure.

Since then, I’ve brought that same rigor to startups and fintech companies, designing scalable backend architectures, crafting intuitive user interfaces, and leading cross-functional teams through complex technical challenges. Whether it’s shipping high-impact features, optimizing performance, or diving deep into system observability, I bring a pragmatic, detail-oriented approach to everything I build.

Beyond code, I’m a hands-on problem solver who enjoys tackling real-world challenges — from modifying cars in my garage to chasing par on the greens. I’m always exploring new tools and technologies, and I thrive in environments where curiosity meets execution.
