# Alexandr Curtov

> Lead full-stack engineer based in Moldova. Builds end-to-end systems for US trucking (TMS, ELD, hours-of-service compliance) and industrial energy (wind-turbine SCADA, utility billing) on TypeScript and serverless AWS. Since 2026, ships whole products with AI coding agents and builds the tooling to run them.

## Domains

- US trucking and compliance: transportation management (TMS), electronic logging devices (ELD), hours-of-service (HOS) rules and violation analysis, IFTA, FMCSA data, dashcam video, plate-reader events, geofenced points of interest, CDL driver recruiting.
- Energy: billing for an electricity supplier (tariffs, calculation engine, grid-operator data imports, bilingual RO/RU PDF bills), wind-turbine remote terminal units and SCADA.

## Selected work

- Fleet management platform (2021 to present): the main TMS for a US trucking software company. HOS violation analysis, ELD device firmware, dashcam video, safety map, plate-reader event detection. TypeScript, AWS CDK, AppSync, DynamoDB, React. Lead engineer and top committer.
- Driver / ELD mobile app (2022 to present): native Android and iOS app built with Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose.
- LoadNex (2026): mini-TMS for small US fleets (2–20 trucks). Built by one developer working with AI agents; V1 shipped on web, Google Play and TestFlight in about three weeks. Includes AI parsing of rate confirmations and a Telegram bot.
- Legacy-to-serverless migration (2026): moved a live NestJS + MongoDB app on EC2 to AppSync + DynamoDB + Lambda, staying byte-compatible with mobile apps already installed on users' phones. Cutover in October 2026.
- Electricity billing system (2026): tariffs, calculation engine, grid-operator imports and PDF bills for an electricity supplier in Moldova. Fastify, Kysely, Postgres, React.
- Wind-turbine RTU and SCADA (2026): reverse-engineered the undocumented serial PLC protocols of Moeller PS416 (GE 1.5 MW), Bachmann M1 and Mita-Teknik WP3000 turbine controllers to bring them into a modern SCADA. TypeScript and Go, with a dashboard and mobile app. Running in production in Moldova.
- ai-flow (2026): web app that runs Claude Code, Codex and Junie coding agents in parallel git worktrees with approval gates, usable remotely.
- claude-plugin-intent (2026, open source): Claude Code plugin. One upfront interview, then an unattended build in its own worktree, landed as a single squashed commit with technical-debt tracking. https://github.com/kyptov/claude-plugin-intent
- Side projects: a Factorio mod controlled by Claude through the Agent SDK, a personal MCP server on Lambda, monitor-input switching over DDC/CI.

## How I work

- End-to-end ownership: from protocol bytes and device firmware to cloud backend, native apps, store releases and production cutovers.
- Cost-pragmatic: moves legacy EC2 workloads to serverless and shuts down what is no longer needed.
- AI-native: since 2026 most of my code is written with AI agents running under my own orchestration and review process.
