Director @ Mercado Libre
I really enjoyed the time that we worked together. Alex is a very experienced developer, with a great capacity to resolve any challenge or issue. He is always ready to teach others, help or collaborate if is needed. As his direct leader, I can say that he was always accountable and I felt comfortable assigning him important or critic tasks.
CTO @ Fressiel
Alex is a synonym for 'dedication'. He dedicates himself to being great with the tools he chooses. He knows how to apply all his theoretical knowledge with his deep understanding of the technologies. If there is a way to do something, he's the one to ask.
iOS Developer @ Raftr
Working with Alex was a blast. He was a true leader both technical and personal wise. During my time at Blue Trail Software he was my technical mentor in iOS Engineering and also my leader both at the project and as a country manager. He is someone who is always willing to help and make the processes clear and the goals easy to achieve. I strongly recommend Alex as an iOS Tech Lead and also as a leader and manager!
