Bio
Alex was the first full-time front-end engineer we brought onto the team at TrueCoach, and at the time of this writing, the longest tenured team member. He played a huge part in building and fostering a great engineering culture culminating in a successful acquisition. Alex is not only an amazing engineer, but an amazing & patient teacher as well - the perfect mix for the tech lead position he held. I'd hire Alex again without hesitation.
Alex was a great positive force on our team. He provided a lot of insight and handled all our roadblocks and bugs in stride. I would jump at the opportunity to work with him again.
