Alex Demers
Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer & SaaS Architect
15+ years designing, scaling, and engineering secure, multi-tenant web applications. Specializing in extreme performance, data security, and reliability.
For over a decade, I have driven the technical execution and maintained the structural integrity of Convoflo — a secure client messaging platform trusted to handle sensitive files, signatures, and online payments.
Deep expertise in performance tuning across the entire stack. Identifying bottlenecks, scaling backend infrastructure, and writing optimized queries with strategic database indexes for blazing-fast response times under heavy concurrent load.
Engineering resilient, multi-tenant SaaS environments. Designing decoupled, highly responsive frontend interfaces that communicate securely with robust RESTful APIs.
Architecting cloud environments for maximum uptime. Real-time database replication for redundancy and comprehensive monitoring suites to automate capacity scaling.

AWS (EC2, S3, RDS Aurora, ElastiCache, Lambda, CloudWatch, CloudTrail).
CI/CD, Git/GitHub, Vulnerability Scanning, SOC 2 Compliance workflows, and Incident Management.
I've spent the last decade deep in the trenches of SaaS development, learning exactly what it takes to build software that is both highly functional and fiercely secure. I believe in writing clean, maintainable code and building infrastructure that lets you sleep soundly at night. When I step away from the keyboard, I'm usually keeping up with the hardware specs of the newest Pixel phones, trying to optimize my deck in Balatro, or taking a break with my yellow-eyed tortoiseshell cat.
