Alex Gwak

I'm Alex, a Software Engineer.

Vancouver, BC

I build fast, reliable software for high-stakes problems.

I'm a software engineer based in Vancouver with 9 years of experience building mission-critical, real-time software for the aerospace and fuel delivery industries.

At Scamp Technologies, I led frontend development for a fuel delivery load management platform used by dispatchers, with real-time updates and live truck tracking on an interactive map. The system had to stay fast and reliable for people making time-sensitive decisions all day.

Before that, I was a software engineer at MDA Space, where I built satellite imaging scheduling and mapping tools, as well as an elevation and terrain detection system.

Earlier, I was a full stack developer at TEEMA Solutions, building contract tracking and automation systems that replaced manual workflows for recruiters and back office staff.

I care deeply about UIs that look good, stay fast, and are easy to use, and I bring that standard to every project and professional role.

Work

  • Load management platform

    Fuel delivery load management

    Scamp Technologies · 2026

    This is the fuel delivery load management platform at Scamp Technologies, used by dispatchers. It enforces complex business logic and safety policies, and it has to perform under load. I implemented safety validated compartment and tank mapping, load versioning, multi leg journey building and editing, and a real time drag and drop calendar used to view and adjust loads. I also worked on the driver day shift system, which tracks availability and shifts.

    I was responsible for the frontend architecture, development, design, and testing.

  • Purpl

    Swipe based talent matching

    Personal · 2022

    Purpl is a React Native mobile app that connects job seekers and employers, with a role-based feed, matching, in-app chat, and notifications.

    I designed, built, and shipped this two-sided marketplace to the App Store as a solo developer. It was the first mobile product I took all the way through build, launch, and the ongoing work of keeping it running in production as a solo developer.

  • Minari

    Multi-agent DAG workflows

    Personal · 2024

    Minari is a personal prototype for a multi-agent workflow orchestrator. I built it to answer a question: how can a cluster of specialized agents be orchestrated to complete long running, human in the loop tasks? Each agent sits on a DAG (directed acyclic graph), with a role and a place in a hierarchy, so the team can be staffed and the run can be managed.

  • fan-dex

    Guest-send card packs

    Personal · 2026

    Fan-dex is a personal app for sending a short pack of cards to a friend. Notes, photos, voice, video. You compose a deck, mail it to an email, and they open the envelope from a link.

    No account is required to send or to open. What exists so far is the desk, guest send, the open link, and a pile if they later sign in with that address.
