Hey, I'm Alex Harri.

I write about software engineering topics, such as TypeScript, monorepos, and performance.

I've been working as a software engineer in Iceland's vibrant startup scene for over 5 years. My experience spans very early-stage startups (I was the first employee at Taktikal) and Series A startups like GRID.

I'm currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at Arkio, where I'm developing Arkio's modeling core. Arkio is a VR-native solid modeler and model reviewer for architects.
