Hi, I'm

Alexander

Software engineer with an entrepreneurial streak
and roots in late-night TV.

Jersey-raised, LA-based. I like building things, good golf, and all things outdoors.

Todd Alexander

I'm a software engineer who started out in late-night television. Now I combine both worlds, the discipline of live production and the craft of engineering, to build fun, meaningful apps as an indie developer, with a focus on performance and design.

Here are some of my notable works.

Senior Software Engineer

Paramount+

I lead engineering on Paramount+'s streaming experiences across TV and the web, most recently the Multiview player, where you watch several live feeds at once. My job is turning messy product and technical constraints into something that just plays, reliably, for millions of people during live events. It's also where I learned to lead: setting technical direction, mentoring engineers, and keeping a lot of moving parts pointed the same way.

Cats Lock

A Mac app I built because my cat kept climbing on my keyboard. It locks the keyboard with one click, or detects the cat and locks on its own. Since launch it's been covered by Engadget, 9to5Mac, and MacRumors and climbed the Mac App Store Utilities charts. Version 2.0, a full redesign, ships September 30, and building it taught me to run a product end to end: design, code, marketing, all of it.

Production Staff

Team Coco

Where it all started. I worked for Team Coco, Conan O'Brien's company, coordinating production across Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show, and Conan on TBS. I built the digital asset systems that got video and graphics to editors and to air every night, on deadline, a crash course in precision under pressure that still shapes how I build software today. That's me on the left in the photo.
