Alex at Michael Scott's desk

My path to becoming a Web developer started in high school when my math league coach suggested I take a new C++ course being offered and has taken many twists and turns since.


I worked in labs on embedded systems for the military and developed a crowd-sourced public works Android application before ever touching HTML. Along the way, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master's in Systems Engineering and spent plenty of time in coffee shops teaching myself new languages and frameworks.


That self-learning hasn't stopped. I channeled a love of music and curating playlists into a React website. I've now architected front-ends in both React and Vue for multiple start-ups while developing APIs and dynamic engines in Node.


Currently, I am Head of Engineering at LeapLife. In my spare time, you can find me at live music venues or wandering the beautiful city of San Francisco. Feel free to contact me with any questions or development opportunities.

This site was made using React with Emotion being server-side rendered by Next and Node. You can find the code on Github. It is still a work in progress.
