About Alex Rains

I am passionate about establishing teams and processes to rapidly develop quality software. I love working with business teams to understand their problems, and then work to bring data and technology to bear to find creative solutions.I enjoy working in different problem domains to help solve large problems and optimize processes, leveraging the best of both technology and teams of skilled people. This has included domains such as government demographic and service data, B2G analysis with spidering, search and publishing of government contracting opportunities, retail web content & digital asset management, omni-channel retail product and marketing offer setup and publishing, and management of complex marketing survey sample management and fielding, all at real-world, large web scale.Specialties: Web development, web spidering, microservices and data processing software, processing large data sets, search, enterprise architecture, content management, multi team/system orchestrated workflow, metadata & governance. I have extensive experience in agile software delivery including scrum & kanban methodologies, leveraging continuous delivery. Software delivery works best with full-stack ownership DevOps teams that not only deliver software (daily, if possible!) but eat their own dogfood by supporting it in production.
