Bio
Xavier Amatriain
I had Alex as a student during his Master's at UCSB and I supervised his Master's Thesis. I found Alex to be not only knowledgeable and skilled but also hard-working, creative, and smart. He can be a fairly independent worker and knows how to work around any issues he finds along the way. On the other hand, he proved to be a good team player and overall a pleasure to work with. I was particularly impressed with his skills in programming and his knowledge and love of Linux. I would not hesitate to recommend Alex for any position requiring technical expertise as well as human and creative skills.
Joe Straitiff
Alex is a detail-oriented, self-motivated programmer. I could easily give him 'research and implement' tasks which he would own and complete without any hand holding. He worked really well remotely -- he got things done quickly with a high level of quality and was quick to bring up issues and seek help when necessary. Alex would be a great asset to any programming team.
