Alex Yorke

Senior Staff Software Engineer at Palo Alto Networks, previously at Microsoft.

I work primarily on backend, platform, and reliability/security-adjacent engineering in C#, Python, TypeScript, and cloud systems. I’m especially interested in debugging complex systems, improving release safety, and building tools that help teams ship with confidence.

  • Backend and platform engineering
  • Static analysis and developer tooling
  • CI/CD, release engineering, and developer productivity
  • Reliability, debugging, and operational improvements
