Alex — Software Lead & Scrum Master
Software Lead & Scrum Master by day. Tinkerer, builder, and nerd by night.
I lead a remote DevOps team at Hexagon, where I design and build dynamic infrastructure-as-code systems that let development teams self-provision their own environments using GitOps and Terraform. My primary language is PowerShell — and yes, I treat it like a real language. Production-grade, tested, modular, with the same standards I’d bring to C#.
I’ve been at the same company for 12+ years (they kept promoting me, so I kept staying), but I’m always building something on the side.
