Alexandre El Khoury

Senior Software Engineer

I'm a highly motivated and results-driven software engineer with 9+ years of experience building robust, scalable back-end systems. My full-stack background enables me to approach software development with a holistic perspective, ensuring efficient, reliable, and maintainable solutions.

Currently, I thrive as a Senior Software Engineer at Weaviate, where I take ownership of end-to-end feature development across backend and frontend systems. I focus on delivering performant, resilient cloud infrastructure—handling database backup reliability, incident response, and cross-team collaboration to ensure seamless product delivery. I also drive the integration of AI-powered tools and workflows to boost developer productivity and efficiency.

Beyond code, I'm a proactive learner and passionate about innovation—constantly exploring new technologies, frameworks, and AI-assisted workflows. I believe in building collaborative, supportive engineering cultures and approach every challenge with curiosity, adaptability, and a focus on high-quality results.
