Alex NicolaidisSoftware Engineer

I'm a full-stack software engineer with over three years in legal tech. I build .NET and Angular applications to meet clients needs.

I care as much about the communication side of engineering as the code. I work closely with stakeholders to understand what the business actually needs, then build features that are practical, secure, and don't take longer to ship than they should. I keep documentation updated alongside the code, so the team doesn't lose track of how a system works.

I use AI to take the boring parts of the job off my plate, boilerplate, repetitive refactors, first drafts of documentation, so I can spend the saved time on the harder problems. I also use it as a reasoning partner, to stress-test an approach before I commit to it or catch a flaw in my own thinking.

I do my best work in high-trust teams, where feedback goes both ways and ideas get challenged before they get built. Working toward a shared goal, with everyone pushing each other to improve, is what makes a team worth being on.

Before software, I spent seven years as a chartered structural engineer, leading technical teams on multi-billion pound infrastructure projects. That background is why I care about reliability and cutting manual work down, rather than just shipping something that works.

Outside of work I travel, cook, and play a lot of sport. Skiing and hiking in the mountains are amongst my favourite things to do, and I'm always up for a local pub quiz.
