Hi, I’m Alex.
I've spent more than 30 years in tech, nearly 22 of them with Microsoft and IBM, helping companies keep their data safe, fast and available.
My path didn't start there. At 23, my soccer career was over, and I traded the only thing of value I owned for my first computer. That decision started everything.
Now I write about what I've learned: databases explained so anyone can follow, my honest journey with AI, career lessons I wish someone had shared sooner, and the business side of technology.
If that sounds like your kind of reading, pull up a chair. A new post arrives every Tuesday.
