My name is Alexander Stevens and I am a Self Employed Software Engineer Over the years, I gained valuable experiences in mobile and web development from my work and education. My goals for the future are to use my school experience, as well as experience from my current job position, to become a future Game Developer/Software Engineer.
During my time at Loopback Systems, I contributed to the development of PowerWatch, a real-time SCADA monitoring platform used to monitor and manage fleets of connected power devices. My primary focus was building and enhancing the web application using Vue 3, creating dashboards and data visualizations that provided operators with live visibility into device status, connectivity, alarms, and operational performance. In addition to frontend development, I worked closely with backend services to extend APIs and deliver new monitoring, reporting, and device management capabilities. The platform relied heavily on real-time communication, allowing users to receive instant updates from remote devices and respond quickly to operational events. Beyond application development, I gained hands-on experience with the IoT infrastructure that powers these solutions. This included provisioning and configuring cellular-connected devices, managing SIM activations and private network connectivity through Verizon ThingSpace, and troubleshooting communication between field hardware and cloud systems. I also collaborated across a complex ecosystem of Azure cloud services, authentication platforms, secrets management tools, and networking infrastructure. Working within this environment strengthened my understanding of how software, cloud architecture, and physical devices come together to deliver secure, scalable, and reliable industrial monitoring solutions. These experiences expanded my expertise beyond traditional web development and deepened my knowledge of real-time systems, IoT technologies, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise-scale software development.
During my time at Truefit, I played a key role in bringing fast-paced, modern tech contracts to life by building React-based web applications for clients in industries such as Martial Arts Gym Management and Supply Chain Inventory Management. Operating in one-week Agile sprints, I learned how to iterate quickly, prioritize features, and deliver meaningful value to both the product and end users. I leveraged AI-powered developer tools like Cursor to significantly boost both my own and my team’s productivity—accelerating debugging, code generation, and architectural planning. These tools helped us move faster without sacrificing code quality, especially under tight deadlines. I also applied my Game Design and mobile development background to contribute to an augmented reality (AR) application for workout posture tracking. My ability to rapidly prototype and translate complex technical ideas into intuitive user experiences brought immediate value to the project. Together, these experiences have shaped me into a well-rounded, adaptable developer, capable of delivering thoughtful, high-impact solutions in high-velocity environments.
During my time at Gambyt, I helped develop numerous web, mobile, even backend applications for the company’s Massachusetts team. I've worked on maintaining the existing website structure we use to support the Massachusetts lottery. This includes combing through various repositories on different stacks (iOS, Android, Web) and implementing new features across the board (AWS Infrastructure/Backend Services/Frontend UI). This experience was critical because it allowed me a chance to integrate changes into a system of such grand size, which was great for honing my skills as a software engineer. I've also used my skills at Gambyt to build a Flutter application from the ground up. This application, Wheel of Luck, is accessed by thousands of users daily and has truly helped develop my skills as a game designer. All of this experience combined has helped in the process of making me a well-rounded individual. To learn more about my experience at the company, check out the project section of my profile.
During my time at Dick’s Sporting Goods Corporate, I helped develop numerous web, mobile, even backend applications for the company’s Corporate Systems/Construction teams. I’ve worked on Web APIs to handle the transfer of data from frontend to our MYSQL, SQL, and MongoDB databases. These tasks were important because it allowed me to learn how APIs function, how to store and extract data appropriately, as well as how to test using Test-Driven Development in the process of it all. I also learned how to implement continuous integration using tools like Azure DevOps and Github Actions. This was a critical step in the development process because it allowed me to appropriately handle my development spaces from Dev-Prod. During my time here, I’ve also worked extensively on front-end applications using Angular and React Native. Working in these environments has not only enhanced my coding skills, but also enhanced my knowledge of correctly implementing a user friendly front end experience to my users. All of this experience combined has helped in the process of making me a well-rounded individual. To learn more about my experience at the company, check out the project section of my profile.
As a Building Support Assistant, I perform various tasks around the library in support of the building as a whole. I coordinate with professionals to set up events throughout the library. These events, as well as other building requests, are set through an online ticketing system. I use this system to manage each task, then I physically perform them and complete the tickets afterwards. I also manage monthly and daily inspections for the building itself, updating a file system as changes arise.
