Alexander Kharchenko

I am a final-year Computer Science student at Swansea University, graduating in July 2026. My current average is 85%.

I am looking for graduate schemes and junior software engineering roles. I am most interested in backend work, infrastructure, distributed systems, and full-stack projects where the backend has some real shape to it.

This site is still a work in progress. I am slowly turning project notes into proper writeups.

Background

• I spent seven months as a Data Engineering Intern at Tradeshift, working with Scala and moving CI/CD workflows from Jenkins to GitHub Actions.
• Most of my recent projects use TypeScript, Express, SQLite, WebSockets, and Linux-hosted services.
• I also use Python, Java, SQL, Docker, nginx, GitHub Actions, and shell scripting.

Education

Swansea University, BSc Computer Science. Expected July 2026.

Some stronger module results: Concepts of Computer Science, Automata and Formal Language Theory, Software Engineering, Web Application Development, and Programming.

Outside Software

I play a lot of chess. My peak online rating is around 2450, and I have played blindfold simuls before.

Selected Projects

• Concorde - a TypeScript chat app with Express, SQLite, WebSockets, JWT auth, and a browser client.
• Twaiter - my dissertation project, a small social web app for experimenting with AI agents.
• Boulder Dash Clone - a group Java game project with movement, enemies, falling objects, scoring, and saved progress.
