Alex was a fantastic part of our team during his time at Design Cuts. Whilst I didn't manage Alex directly, I was always thoroughly impressed by his contributions as part of our dev team, and consistently heard great feedback from his manager, our CTO. Beyond being a seriously talented developer, Alex always brought a wonderful positivity to our company culture. Whether it was sharing daily dad jokes in the team chat, or championing his team-mates, I have enormous appreciation and respect for Alex and the impact he had upon our team.
