Alex Lazar

Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a fullstack developer and mostly like working with React, Go, AWS, Docker, and PostgreSQL.

A few things about me.

I first ever coded when I was 13 years old with Pascal at school, then later in 2017 I remember making simple toy projects with a messy combination of Python, Ruby and PHP. Most of them were aimed at either helping me flip stuff on eBay or helping me trade stocks (both of which I've never been good at, lol).

I went to college for mechanical engineering where we briefly touched on C and MATLAB. I was deeply impressed with my MATLAB professor who was a remote contractor for US companies & universities. I eventually dropped out after a year and a half to focus on freelancing.

My early career was spent freelancing for mostly content creators that needed either brochure websites, eCommerce sites or simple membership web apps. I later got encouraged, by a senior core dev at a big company I shall not name (he's a private person), to transition into crypto at the end of 2021.

Nowadays I'm just excited to make a living building software. I genuinely love building software, am a huge techno-optimist and a libertarian. I'm also the proud founder of a small software development shop called LeetSoftware.

If you didn't get it by now, I'm also a big yapper...

And I've been fortunate to interview some pretty amazing people. Take a look at the latest ones below. Or click here to see all interviews.
