Aleksejs Sladzevskis
@alexslad
Entrepreneurial software engineer focused on React Native and automation-driven solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am an entrepreneurial software engineer with extensive React Native experience, a track record of founding and scaling product and agency businesses, and a strong obsession for efficiency and clean code. I have led end-to-end development and infrastructure work, built cross-platform AI-enabled inspection apps, and delivered automation solutions that streamline client workflows.
As a hands-on technical leader, I rebuilt large portions of production apps to improve responsiveness and reduce re-renders, implemented complex UI/UX features for smart home controls, and integrated services like OpenAI, Supabase, Sentry, and Tuya. I also ran a marketing and automation agency where I built websites, sales funnels, paid-ad campaigns, and automated client delivery pipelines.
Beyond software, I bring 10+ years of experience performing as a professional magician, which enhances my presentation skills and client engagement. I am currently shipping my own B2B SaaS product and enjoy building reliable systems that deliver measurable value.
