Alex Haldeman

Alex is a full-stack engineer and consultant with over a decade of experience building software across healthcare, finance, government, and defense. His work spans backend systems, frontend applications, and cloud infrastructure, giving him a broad view of how the pieces of a product fit together and where the hard problems tend to surface. In recent engagements he has focused on AI-powered systems and agentic development, exploring how these tools change the way software gets designed, built, and shipped. He works in a test-driven, agile style and places equal value on engineering fundamentals and the newer practices reshaping the field. Across his engagements he has taken projects from early architecture through delivery, often serving as the technical lead on cross-functional teams, and he regularly mentors the engineers he works alongside. He's interested in writing about the craft of building software and what he is learning as the tools and the work continue to evolve.
