Alexander Buk-Swienty
Former literary agent turned programmer. I started coding in 2019 to fix a data problem at the agency where I worked. Built a rights management system in PHP and MySQL from scratch, kept going, and eventually left for tech full-time.
Now I work at ODA Group. Lead backend on a pharma AI platform, lead mobile on a medication and interaction tracking app. I build buttons and RAG pipelines in TypeScript and Go.
