Hey, I'm Alex — if you work with BlackieOps, you'll be working directly with me. I've been a software developer for over 13 years, and have worked with and for many startups and companies of all sizes.

My experience has brought me to all levels of the modern software stack: from deploying secure containerized infrastructure and from-scratch Kubernetes, to scaling high-performance API backends, to optimizing PostgreSQL query performance, to building frontend features in Typescript… This bottom-up skillset allows for solving problems more efficiently with systemic solutions, and more securely by understanding the complete surface area and supply chain.

Book a quick call and let's talk about how BlackieOps can help you ship better software, faster.

I’ve worked with world-class companies, such as…
