In the summer of 2018, I interned at BamSEC, which is a financial research tool for SEC filings posted on SEC.gov. I worked on a user interaction monitoring system and I optimized our elastic search indexing with AWS.


About Me


My name is Alex Nelson and I'm currently a Senior in Information Systems at Carnegie Mellon University with an expected graduation of May 2019. I love to code and have 2+ years of Software Engineering experience specializing in Full-Stack web development.

I’ve held Software Engineering internships with BamSEC, The Walt Disney Company, and EVVEMI Inc doing Software Engineering in a variety of fields. I plan on working at Compass Real Estate as a Software Engineer following my graduation in May 2019.

I love using new technologies like React, Gulp.js, Django and more! These are just a few of my favorites for getting a project up and running. I've recently started deploying sites on Firebase for static content and Heroku when I need a more robust backend.

In my free time, I love to travel, play chess, exercise, and hangout with friends and family.

ok, let's create
something great together
