His specialty lies in designing highly scalable distributed large-scale enterprise systems, which he has been successfully doing for the last 12 years. He is also a frequent presenter on the topics of architecture and design at conferences such as UberConf, JavaOne, and Spring 2GX.
Alex joined Orbitz Worldwide in 2004, and in his current role of Senior Principal Engineer, he is responsible for providing technical leadership and guidance in the development of foundational technologies, core libraries, and APIs for enterprise-wide use, as well as establishing and maintaining common design principles and standards used within the company and integration of new software development practices within the development community. He has extensive experience in enterprise architecture designing distributed systems, and spends a lot of time doing object domain modeling and focusing on domain-driven design and behavior-driven development and testing. Prior to that, Alex was a lead engineer in the same team that was responsible for web application frameworks and developing common practices and additional functionality on top of Spring MVC and Webflow.
He has been a long-time Spring user, starting with Spring 2.0.8 and all the way to the latest and greatest—Spring Boot. Ever since the introduction of Spring Boot, he has been writing applications using the framework as well as contributing patches to the codebase. His general interests lie in the area of distributed computing and technologies and frameworks that enable ease of application creation and cross communication. Besides Java, he is also proficient in Ruby/Rails, PHP, Groovy and is currently learning Erlang.
Alex is a graduate of Loyola University of Chicago, with a BS in computer science and an MS in computer science specializing in software architecture. He currently resides in Evanston, IL. When not coding, Alex enjoys playing tennis, hiking, skiing, and traveling.voir moins
