About

Bio

Hey there! 👋🏻 I'm Alex Cali, a Software Developer based in Toronto, Canada.

I currently build Media Intelligence tools at Onclusive for PR, Communications and Marketing professionals! 💚

My day-to-day stack includes Vue 2/3, Backbone.js, React, Next.js, Flask and Python — and next up on my brain-download list is Go, plus whatever else life throws my direction.

Beyond the 9-to-5, I'm a massive physical media collector 📼 — so much so that I run a YouTube channel dedicated to it, and spend my off-hours building custom tools to fuel my obsession. 💿
