Alvin is the definition of a level-headed and thoughtful engineer. He has this incredible ability to take any given task or problem and not only break down the next best step for us to take but also make everyone on the team feel calm, capable, and on the same page. Simply put, when Alvin speaks, you listen; every contribution to a discussion, given feature or the overall direction of the application from Alvin was meaningful. I would be delighted to work with him again.

Alvin has been an asset to the team with his strong competence as an engineer paired with a humble approach to communication with fellow devs. What sticks out about Alvin is his mindfulness for everyone. His growth mindset has encouraged team members to embrace their roles and maintain an open, constructive flow of communication. During our ideation sprint, he presented a strong, consolidated lineup of resources to create a smooth onboarding of DevOps technologies for team members. On several occasions, he has presented bright ideas while re-evaluating our team’s ideas, never shutting them down, to deliver within the scope of our sprints. Alvin’s a joy to work with, and I’d be thrilled to work with him again!
