Software. Systems.
Things made real.
I’m Alex Moss—a software developer and maker with a background in genomics, technical implementation, and systems troubleshooting. I build apps, support the systems behind them, and make physical products.

03 / ABOUT
Curiosity is the
common thread.
I like understanding how things work—and making them work better.
My background is in genomics software at UAB and HudsonAlpha, where I built tools for research and helped keep them reliable. That same hands-on approach carries into my apps, self-hosted infrastructure, and physical products.
These days, my work moves between code, CAD, 3D printers, and a market booth. I’m based in Huntsville, Alabama, and comfortable working across disciplines.
