Bio
Jose Alamo
Leonardo and I are childhood friends. I've known him pretty much my whole life and I had the privilege of watching him become one of the (if not the single one) best professionals I've met in my life. He is not only brilliant, but also one of the most hard-working people I've ever met and has definitely influenced me positively on my own path to professional life. Any workplace will definitely improve astronomically just by having him present. Any wild idea will flourish and become a full, revolutionary product or feature if he is tasked to work on it. His thirst for knowledge and apetite for creation are just unquenchable. In short, I not only recommend him for any position he might be pursuing, but also congratulate any company that has the luck to have him on their team.
