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).
I've been working in the IT space for more than 17 years.
A decade of it as a crypto protocol specialist.

I write Solidity Contract, run NodeJS backend, provide React/React Mobile front-end, use FS or PostgreSQL for data storage, and Docker/Kubernetes for DevOps.
I love to learn new things, and share them.
