About me

I am Alejandro Cuervo-Hotz (born Alejandro Forero Cuervo), a software engineer, husband and father. I grew up in Bogota and live in Zürich.

I enjoy writing, knitting, photography, drawing (with and without software), exercising and programming.

I’ve worked at Google since 2007. I was a manager for five years but I missed the close contact with technology and went back to being an individual contributor. For nearly 15 years I lead a team designing and implementing algorithms to make massive distributed systems more reliable and efficient.

Since 2014, the only text editor I’ve used is the one I’m developing: Edge.
