Profile: https://flows.cv/alexal

I'm a software engineer with experience in people management and system architecture design, with a keen eye for product development. I am deeply familiar with cloud-based web application development full-stack, with tools and languages such as Kubernetes, AWS, Python, Golang, Typescript & React, PostgresQL.

I'm also pursuing an Associate's in Applied Science in Fashion Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology. I'm interested in finding creative ways to apply what I learn there to my work as an engineer.
