Alex M. Rodriguez
Software engineer, New York
I'm a software engineer with eight years of experience building web applications end to end: Angular and React front ends, Java and Spring Boot services, SQL and GraphQL data, and tested code shipped through CI/CD. Lately I build games too.
I was born in the Dominican Republic and learned English as a teenager in New York, where I work today. Two of the products on the wall, Fiscalia and LuzRD, are built for the Dominican Republic.
