Aleks Tomovski

Founder

I've spent 15+ years building developer platforms, starting as part of the core team on Wix Code (now Wix Studio), where we helped empower millions of citizen developers before it was a buzzword. I then scaled a startup through Southeast Asia, before joining Canva where I led their internal developer platform. I left to co-found Modern with Seb, bringing the same platform-building instincts to IT automation.
