Hi! I'm

Alex Werner.

Software Engineer

As a fast-learner and curious person, I analyze usage and use-cases; I write specifications, design, develop, and deploy user-facing software with high-quality standards for more than a decade.

Hi, I'm Alex, software engineer from Toulouse (France).
Within my founded company SubterminalNetworks, I build high-quality maintainable, high-scalable, full-stack products.

I'm using React/React Mobile for the front, some NodeJS micro-services backend, host my data on Mongo/PostgreSQL and do DevOPS stuff using Docker/Kubernetes.

SubterminalNetworks focuses mostly the crypto sector and financial markets.
I love to learn new things, and share them.
