Bio
Josh McDade
I had the pleasure of working with Aleks as my manager for almost 4 years at SpaceIQ, where he was head of Engineering. He knows a great deal about building scalable, modern software, and leading teams to get the job done, and get it done right. He is extremely passionate about building a strong, healthy engineering culture, putting his teams in positions to succeed, be productive, enjoy what theyโre doing, and being a knowledgable and caring leader, mentor, and coach. Aleks is one of the hardest workers Iโve ever met, has excellent charisma and communication skills, and has a great sense of humor! I highly recommend Aleks, and any team would be lucky to have him as their leader!

Aleks is the real deal. I had the pleasure of partnering with Aleks at SpaceIQ over 2+ years where he was the head of Engineering for Serraview and SIQ; and I was head of Product. Not only does Aleks know how to build great, scalable, modern software but he also knows how to build and support great teams and culture. Aleks is incredibly hard working, and no matter what challenge was thrown at him, he'd work hard to find a solution and deliver value to our customers. Even during the most intense moments, Aleks knew how to release the pressure with a well-timed one-liner that would make everyone smile. It was very rare to find someone who didn't enjoy working with or for Aleks. I highly recommend Aleks if you need to get the job done, software shipped and shipped well.
