Alex Springer

Systems Architect & Data Platform Engineer


Building Complex Systems at Scale

I'm a builder who thrives on designing data oriented systems. After leading commercial teams while maintaining hands-on development, I'm now fully focused on systems architecture and platform engineering. My experience spans from designing high-throughput data pipelines to building AI-powered analytics platforms, always with an emphasis on performance and maintainability.
