Alex Chen.Full-StackEngineer.
I build fast, scalable web products that ship on time. Specializing in React, Node.js, and cloud infrastructure for startups and growth-stage companies.
Building the web, one commit
at a time.
I'm a full-stack engineer with 5+ years of experience turning product ideas into polished, production-ready applications. I care deeply about developer experience, system design, and writing code that teams actually enjoy maintaining.
Previously at Vercel and Figma, I've shipped features used by millions of developers. I'm most effective in fast-moving environments where ownership and impact are the metrics that matter.
