Hi, I'm Alex G.

I build intimate and interactive experiences.

About Me

My Philosophy

I approach software engineering as an exercise in complex systems design. By establishing rigorous observability, enforcing strict component isolation, and applying data-oriented performance optimizations, I build predictable, fault-tolerant infrastructure that securely scales to enterprise demands without sacrificing the determinism of the user experience.

What I Do

  • Distributed Systems Architecture
  • Site Reliability & Observability
  • Frontend Platform Engineering

Experience

Distributed Systems Engineer

Feb 2024 - Present
Pathify

Led structural architectural initiatives, reducing annual infrastructure spend by $200K+ while increasing overall system reliability. Pioneered SLO-driven engineering to closely align UX decisions with backend performance constraints, and engineered automated workflows for white-label domain provisioning.

Lead Engineer

Jul 2023 - Present
Navengage (Acquired by Pathify)

Owned the complete delivery lifecycle of an analytics dashboard platform, scaling to support 19 enterprise tenants and navigating a 12x MAU growth. Enforced strict WCAG 2.1 AA compliance and drastically improved system load capacity via deep SQL query plan analysis and complex indexing strategies.

Senior Engineer

2022 - 2023
Comcast (via Moderati)

Architected high-performance marketing surfaces, including xumo.com, for a new line of Smart TVs. Engineered a strictly typed, composable library of over 70 React components, implemented an automated Cypress/Jest testing matrix in CI/CD, and integrated a headless CMS for dynamic client-side layout control.

Software Engineer

2021 - 2022
Virtually

Developed resilient full-stack feature sets for a B2B education analytics platform. Constructed a scalable GraphQL service layer over GCP, leveraging ETL pipelines and asynchronous background jobs to ingest cross-platform metrics, and utilized aggressive GCP observability tooling to preemptively diagnose production anomalies.

Cofounder

2015 - 2017
Giglogic

Bootstrapped a highly decoupled event management platform modeling complex venue discovery via Yelp APIs and deterministic search optimization. Orchestrated operations across thousands of stakeholders natively, driving initial revenue generation through rapid iterative product development.
