Hey!

Alex Vobornov

I'm Alex Vobornov

Founding Engineer @ Uptop | Full Stack

As Founding Engineer at Uptop, I spearheaded development of custom loyalty platforms for clients like the Cleveland Cavaliers and Empire State Building.

Working with a small cross-functional team, I helped take Uptop from concept to profitable startup, backed by big names like Galaxy Digital, Avalanche, PayPal, NFX, and Mastercard (Start Path).

I focus on delivering polished user experiences, building scalable systems, and exploring blockchain applications. I love when my work has measurable impact on users.

In my free time, you'll find me traveling and working on my cars. Check out my gallery below!
