I lived with Alex for a year when we were at University. It was a few years ago now, but I always remember Alex to be a communicative, considerate, empathetic and entrepreneurial person.

David McCormack

Alex is an extremely capable and professional IT consultant. We bought a new system from a supplier who under resourced the installation. Alex came on board for a period to project manager and complete the delivery of what was in reality a very complicated and difficult roll out. He was instrumental in seeing the project firstly corrected and then completed. I highly recommend his services.

Currently managing a 5 strong team of Spanish technicians to ensure the continuity of the largest Restaurant and Club chain within the Canary Islands. I oversee the operational planning for large scale rollouts, ranging from POS strategy, Mobile application development and security policies.

The less down time they reap the better the turnover.

      Tasked with aggressively rejuvenation the company IT policies and planning the implementation of their new technologies vision. I was brought in after an unfortunate event in which Now Recruitment had been the victim of a liquidation deliberately after signing a lease agreement for services. I was tasked to asses the situation, create a damage limitation plan and keep the company operational whilst their Board of Directors exited its now de-funct contract with the previous IT company. I successfully migrated all of their physical servers (15 in total) via VSphere to a single virtualised host and helped get neglected remote sites up to speed with their IT needs.

      My job roles were to design, configure and help in rolling out large scale networks (MPLS). The maintenance duties of every subset also fell under my responsibilities and their various assets whilst acting as a point of contact for clients . This involved travelling to other countries where necessary to follow up on previous sales efforts to assure projects were consistently being delivered to a high standard.
