Alexander Wu

I am a Staff Software Engineer with a strong track record building large-scale backend systems for high‑visibility platforms. I focus on secure, compliant architectures and resilient services that support millions of users.

At Amazon I led backend development for a regulated healthcare platform, designing multi‑role workflows, secure data exchange, and scalable request handling while improving performance through caching and data access optimizations.

Previously at Datadog I developed large‑scale log ingestion and real‑time alerting systems, drove migrations to modern infrastructure, and defined patterns for deployment automation and service monitoring.

I mentor engineers, advocate platform standards, and champion safer deployment practices and observability to improve operational visibility and reliability across distributed systems.
