Bio
Shaun Calhoun
Aleksandar is a pleasure to work with. His deep understanding of technology, his creativity, and unbridled enthusiasm make him an asset to any development team. He will be greatly missed. I hope that I get the opportunity to work with him in the future.
Brent Turner
Alex - as a person and developer - is the type of person with whom cross functional teams enjoy working. When you need to roll your sleeves up and focus in on launching a critical project, you will find Alex is already at the table. He will come prepared to brainstorm, plan, and set specifications. He will leave and immediately begin researching, testing, and deploying solutions. Alex has been instrumental in launching many high profile, you-cannot-miss-this-deadline, failure-is-not-an-option, large scale projects for MIT (see Jason's recommendation for just a sample of the projects Alex has shipped). As a project lead, technical team manager, a hands-on developer, or any-problem-you-can-throw-at-him solver, Alex has a very bright future ahead of him. I look forward to working with him again in the years to come.
