Bio
Ana Stoica
As a product designer, Alexander has a unique ability of balancing technical skills and creative flair. He has a keen eye for aesthetics and a natural understanding of design principles, being able to create intuitive and visually appealing user interfaces. Moreover, he is highly proficient in UX research, able to conduct thorough and insightful studies that inform his design decisions. In addition to his technical acumen, Alexander is a proactive learner, always seeking out opportunities to improve and expand his knowledge base. He has a natural curiosity and is not afraid to ask questions or explore new ideas. This combination of technical expertise and intellectual curiosity makes Alexander a valuable asset to any design team. I have had the pleasure of working with him on several projects as part of our design team at GAN Integrity and can confidently say that he is an extremely talented and dedicated designer. He consistently demonstrates his proficiency in the field and always brings a unique perspective to the table.

Alexander was an amazing employee to have on my team. He showed tremendous adeptness in handling multiple difficult tasks and customers at once as well as showing a keen understanding of not only the product but the customers needs from a configuration stand point. Alex conducted excellent discovery calls routinely getting to the bottom of their needs while also providing gentle guidance to ensure the customer wound up with the best possible solution for themselves with what is a highly configurable product. He is definitely viewed as a trusted advisor by his customers. As an employee Alex is hard working, a fast learner and always willing to share the knowledge and techniques he gains to the benefit of all who work with him. Alex made his deadlines with planning and through his skills got implementations off to a fast start with a solid well architected solution. I was personally very lucky to have him on my team and I know he will always be a valuable asset wherever he chooses to employee his skills.
