Alex Malebranche is the founder of BoyTwigg, where he builds custom AI agents that streamline organizational work while preserving human judgment. His experience spans military intelligence, startup entrepreneurship, developer education, and founder programs at GitHub and Cloudflare.
Before entering technology, Malebranche served as a U.S. Army intelligence analyst and earned an accountancy degree from Miami University in 2015. His subsequent professional experience included Amazon, Amazon Web Services, Deloitte, Nestlé, and Braxton Brewing Company.
He founded PlaneAhead, a travel startup that monitored booked flights for price drops and recovered airline credits when cheaper fares became available. Miami University’s student-run RedHawk Ventures invested $25,000 in the company in 2022.
As global engagement lead for GitHub for Startups, Malebranche connected founders with developer tools, technical support, and investor networks; a Stripe Developers interview explores his approach. In 2024, he helped run a Stanford developer workshop and participated in an AI Engineer World’s Fair Copilot workshop, supporting hands-on experimentation with GitHub Codespaces and AI-assisted programming.
He subsequently joined Cloudflare to develop Cloudflare for Startups, cultivate venture-capital and accelerator partnerships, and support Workers Launchpad.
His work centers on three practical concerns:
- Workflows over prompts: Build repeatable organizational processes around specific operational problems, keeping people involved where judgment matters.
- Custom AI agents: Consolidate fragmented tasks such as legal-client intake, communications, scheduling, and document preparation.
- Founder infrastructure and access: Connect early-stage companies with technical platforms, investors, accelerators, and communities, including events for underrepresented founders.
