About Alex Cloudstar

I'm a full-stack developer who builds products that solve real problems. I care about simplicity, reliability, and shipping things that actually work in production.

Background

I've spent 8+ years building for the web across the full stack. TypeScript, React, Node.js, Next.js, PostgreSQL, AWS. I've delivered production software for E.ON, ING, HCL Technologies, and Warner Bros.

I write straightforward code and choose boring, proven solutions over trendy ones. The goal is always software that works today and is easy to maintain a year from now.

How I Work

• Honest, upfront communication. No surprises.
• Pragmatic decisions based on your timeline and budget.
• Ship early, iterate fast, avoid over-engineering.
• Code built for the long run, not just the demo.

What I've Built

Beyond client work, I build and ship my own products. A few highlights:

• Multiple SaaS products shipped and iterated on – from AI tools to maker platforms
• 130+ blog posts on development, startups, and the tech industry
• Reached #1 on Product Hunt with PH Wrapped
• Shipped production software used by real customers across Europe and North America

Experience

I've worked with teams at scale and as a solo contractor. Some of the companies I've delivered for:

• E.ON – energy sector, enterprise-scale frontend and integrations
• ING – financial services, production React and TypeScript applications
• Warner Bros. – media platform development
• HCL Technologies – large-scale software delivery

Available for freelance projects and long-term contracts.
