Summary
David Alexander is a Staff Engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable, distributed web solutions and API microservices, most recently shaping customer-facing help experiences at Autodesk and now at Axle. He combines deep system design and architecture skills with hands-on delivery of front-end applications and serverless backend services, and has driven CI/CD, testing, and observability practices across multiple teams. A proven leader and mentor, he translates complex technical concepts for both engineers and executives and has a track record of turning those ideas into programs, SDKs, and standards of practice. His background spans full lifecycle work—from Salesforce and CRM integrations to GraphQL tiers and AWS Lambda microservices—helping cross-functional teams ship self-service transactions and embedded experiences. Based in New York, he stays curious about AI and blockchain and explores how those technologies can augment web help systems. Colleagues know him for pairing pragmatic engineering with a knack for operationalizing resilient, maintainable systems.
