# Alex Sofroniev

> Head of Cloud Solutions by day. Indie builder by night. Builds in public — if the tool doesn’t exist, he ships it; if it stops mattering, he leaves it be.

Personal site framed as the git history of a life: career trunk since 2016, abandoned experiments, live products, classified WIP, and the cron that keeps the operator online.
