Alex Heist - Software Developer

Ensuring your project's success through smart design and development

ABOUT
ME

Headshot

I’m a full-stack developer that has worked with a diverse range of clients to bring their ideas to life. I specialize in building web applications with Django, but have had extensive experience building mobile applications with Flutter as well.

Having worked in a lean startup environment for the past few years, I have experience with the entire development lifecycle: from wireframing and design to development, testing, and server configuration. I’m eager to learn and challenge myself to ensure that you get the product you deserve.

Total Asset Protection is a mobile application that can help you document and catalog the items in your home. TAP's main goal is to provide homeowners with a simple means of ethically maximizing their next insurance claim

Having never worked on a mobile application, I've learned a lot from this project. Built with Flutter on the frontend with a Django REST API on the backend, this project has the potential to scale to a very sizable user base.

  • Django
  • Docker

Professional, exceptionally organized, incredibly detailed, deeply intelligent. These would be just a few of the attributes that Alex Heist has and demonstrates as he works through the different IT issues for us. I cannot say enough about his ability to see your vision from concept to completion and his care to bring that to market. I would highly recommend Alex for any project where you need help with your IT, coding, or any other program issues and know that you would be in great hands.

Advisorpedia Laptop Preview

With over 24,000 published articles, Advisorpedia is a leading force in providing financial advisors with valuable content.

In my time working with Advisorpedia, I've helped grow search traffic by 46.5% over a three month period with improvements to the site's SEO. I've also implemented numerous new features, a site redesign, rebranding, and move to a new domain that successfully maintained search rankings and better positioned the company to engage in valuable partnerships.

Alex has been our key day-to-day developer for the past two years on Advisorpedia.com. We haven’t found anything that he can’t handle from a development perspective. If he doesn’t have any answer immediately, he will find out. We also very much appreciate his calm demeanor, professionalism and, most of all, deadlines met. He consistently exceeds our expectations.

SICK WISH

A passion project of mine, I worked with my friends and local band, Sick Wish, to create a website that matched their needs and brand aesthetic.

Built with Django, the site takes advantage of the simple admin interface to allow Sick Wish to post updates and information about their current projects, tour dates, and artistic musings.
