Hello!

I’m Alejandro Rangel, a Technical Engineering Lead at Fender Musical Instruments Corporation based in Los Angeles, California. I have been coding since I was 10 years old, and I’ve spent over a decade building software that combines my passion for technology with practical solutions.

Professional Background

Currently, I lead technical engineering initiatives at Fender, where I’ve been since 2015. My journey at Fender has taken me from Senior Mobile/Web Developer to Platform Engineer, then Senior Software Engineer, and now Technical Engineering Lead. I work across multiple technologies and platforms, including iOS, Android, Node.js, AWS, and web technologies.

Before Fender, I worked on various exciting projects including mobile application development for research at UC Irvine’s Laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction, and software engineering at Ensenada City Hall where I developed in-house applications and worked with SOA and BPMN.

Education

  • Graduate coursework in Computer Science at Centro de Investigación Científica y de Educación Superior de Ensenada (CICESE), 2013-2015
  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Universidad Autonoma de Baja California, 2007-2011

Approach to Technology

I believe in being a versatile engineer who can navigate across different technology stacks and paradigms. Rather than specializing in a single language or framework, I focus on understanding core concepts and best practices that translate across platforms. This cross-functional expertise allows me to architect solutions that leverage the right tool for each challenge, whether it’s mobile development (iOS, Android), backend systems (Node.js, Java), or cloud infrastructure (AWS).

My experience has taught me that the most valuable skill is the ability to adapt and learn—to approach each problem with curiosity and find the most effective solution, regardless of the technology involved.

About This Blog

Where did the name of this blog come from? I don’t really know, I created this blog in 2016 and never updated it, until recently. I guess it came from the Netflix show Love Death + Robots.
