Software Development and Consulting

Aesthetic Software is the freelance software engineering corporation run by myself, Jim Alexander. I build Web-based applications and services that are fast, scalable and easy to maintain.

My family and I live in San Francisco, California.     
Most of my development has been in Java and the Spring Framework running in a JEE container. Most of 2017 was dedicated to building microservices and REST APIs deployed on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. 

I work across the entire technology stack from the browser to service-APIs and databases. I've also built Android Apps and embedded micro applications that run on microcontrollers for robotics and machine control. 

I play a number of roles ranging from Lead Engineer, Architect and senior member of an engineering team. I enjoy working in small teams as well as on my own. I'm self directed and can also follow the lead of others.  

Aesthetic Software, Inc. is registered as an "S Corporation" in San Francisco, California, USA.
