Profile: https://flows.cv/alexandernewman

I have over 10 years of experience in commercial full stack web development. I have designed and built end-to-end applications on AWS using both autoscaling and serverless paradigms. On the backend I am proficient with languages like Python, Go, Rust, and Node.js in addition to administering MySQL, PostgreSQL, and DynamoDB databases. I have built frontends using jQuery, React.js, Vue.js, and GraphQL in plain JS and TypeScript, including building out designs from specifications using CSS and SASS. I have an interest in distributed systems, application reliability, and security.

I also have proficiency and interest in other tasks such as systems programming (C, C++, Rust, Go), devops (Docker, Linux sysadmin, database admin), data processing/analysis (python, TensorFlow, numpy, scipy), networking, and cryptography.
