Hi, I’m Alexander Kemos
CS graduate passionate about building reliable software, systems, and tools that solve real problems in code, automation, and infrastructure.
Crafting polished, dependable software
Turning ideas into dependable software, I enjoy solving problems that make systems smoother and people’s work easier. I build clear, secure, and maintainable software from backend logic to automated deployment, focusing on stability and clarity. As a recent CS graduate, I’m eager to learn, grow, and explore opportunities across development, DevOps, and systems-focused roles.
What drives me
Curiosity, precision, and continuous improvement. I thrive in teams that build things right, explain why they work, and keep learning together.
What I’m exploring
New challenges across software, systems, and hardware, coding, automation, infrastructure, and optimization. As a recent CS graduate, I enjoy learning how technology fits end to end while collaborating to improve it.
Selected work
A mix of creative and engineering ideas, from automation pipelines and data systems to interactive games and simulations. These placeholders reflect my curiosity, precision, and drive to build reliably, with real projects in development.
Brightpath Studio Fast, Clean Static Website in Astro
Single-page marketing site for service pros and local businesses who want a trustworthy, low-fuss web presence.
Cloud Security Pipeline
A fully automated pipeline that builds, tests, scans, and deploys applications securely. It runs unit tests, code and container scans, and infrastructure checks during every deployment, automatically blocking anything unsafe. Built with Python, Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, and AWS for safe, cost-free testing.
