// hello world
I'm Alexander Crowe,
a full-stack developer.
I build things for the web — from Spring Boot APIs on AWS to React and Vue frontends. I care about clean code, real shipping, and getting better every week.

// about me
Not a typical background.
I started in music business, then discovered coding during the Disney College Program — no plan, just curiosity. That curiosity turned into a bootcamp, a teaching role at that same bootcamp, freelance contracts, and a Java apprenticeship. Now I'm here, building real full-stack apps and shipping them.
I've debugged production routing bugs, taught React live to students, and deployed to AWS. I write code the way I'd want someone else to — honest, readable, and tested enough to sleep on.
