Alex’s background spans a wide depth and breadth of expertise and experience. Using this knowledge, he has architected and designed numerous successful database solutions addressing challenging business requirements.

Alex started at Pythian in Ottawa, leading a team of Pythian database experts before moving to Australia to embrace the challenges of setting up Pythian business in the East Asia Pacific region.
