Hi, I’m Alex. I’ve been building software for over 30 years, starting with Perl on SunOS Unix systems, helped as an early co-founder of PhoneGap/Cordova, immersed myself into native mobile app development, and eventually landing deep in the world of Open Source SDKs and authentication/security. Along the way I picked up a love for mentoring, building my own software projects, and occasionally writing about the parts of life that have nothing to do with a compiler.
