About

Hi, I'm Alexander

Software engineer with 21 years of experience, primarily in Scala, Haskell, and Nix. I focus on functional programming, the architecture of high-load distributed systems, reproducible builds, and AI-first development with cutting-edge agentic and LLM tooling.

This blog is where I write about things I find interesting in programming and technology. For the full picture — experience, projects, and skills — see my CV.

Interests

• Functional Programming — Scala, Haskell, type theory, category theory
• Nix Ecosystem — NixOS, Nix flakes, reproducible builds
• System Design — Distributed systems, scalability patterns
• AI & Developer Tools — LLMs, AI-assisted development
