About Me

Hello, I’m Alex (Лёша) 👋
🛠️ I am an experienced full-stack engineer, specializing in the design and development of distributed systems.
💼 I started my career at Yandex, where I worked in the Search infrastructure. After that, I moved to Berlin to work for Amazon, where I was working on the main website.
🇳🇱 Currently, I live in Amsterdam and work at Miro, leading the development of the API for external developers.
🧑‍💻 I strive to grow professionally, and I am currently learning about engineering management and data engineering. My pet projects can be found on GitHub.
🏃 In my free time, I love to do sports (gym + running), which helps me to get away from the sedentary lifestyle that is inevitable when working with computers.
⛵️ Also, I love to travel and last year I discovered yachting, which for me represents the perfect balance between active and beach holidays.
🐶 Fun fact about me: I have a dog, a Corgi named Charlie.
