Alex Stout

Filmmaker · engineer · dad · Salt Lake Valley, UT

I’m a software engineer in the Salt Lake Valley, but the work closest to my heart isn’t code — it’s memory. I run Everlife Media, where I help families turn their moments into films and keepsakes they’ll have forever.

It started with a film for my dad, bensfilm.live, so my kids could know him. That grew into digitizing old tapes, documentary storytelling, and event tech for the days families want to hold onto. Turns out the thing I’m best at is paying close attention to what matters to someone and building something that honors it.

The engineering pays the bills and scratches the tinkering itch — 13+ years of hardware-software systems, lately leading applied AI at BioLite / Goal Zero. That story’s on /experience. But this is the part I’d tell you about first.
