Hi there, I’m Alex Huang 👋

About Me

Hey! I’m Alex — a software engineer based in Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia, with a passion for building systems that bridge technology, data, and design. I graduated from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor of Software Engineering (2024) and currently work at Microsoft, where I contribute to large-scale systems powering Teams and AI Copilot services.

I’ve spent most of my career in startups, from founding full-stack engineer roles to scaling early-stage products from 0→1. I love taking ideas from concept to production, whether it’s an app, a trading system, or a SaaS platform.
