Cristina Constantin

I worked with Alin on 3 different occasions (2020, 2021 and 2022) and each time he managed to overpass the expectations on all techniques used (reverse mentoring, design thinking). He is very good in dealing with students, he knows how to boost the best in them and he has excellent coordination skills and no matter the request he can deliver in time with excellent quality both in online and face to face events. Each time, I appreciated his dedication on the preparation phase of each event and his commitment to deliver exceptional results.

Radu Pop

Awesome facilitation of design sprint that kept all stakeholders engaged throughout the process and delivered highly appreciated prototypes in a 4 day event.
