“If you want to work with someone with skill in entrepreneurship, product and engineering then Alex is definitely worth working with. During my time working with him at Hired, he defined, developed and shipped multiple product features that had measurable business impact. Some highlights for me include: - When he implemented systems that collected very fine-grained user tracking data that we have used in data science our data science models - When he went through took a leading role in defining a new user experience called Jobs - The many times that he went in and re-engineered old systems filled with technical debt. To my knowledge, he did this because it was the right thing to do -- not because it was assigned. He is definitely someone you can count on to implement things in a maintainable, scalable way. I would definitely recommend Alex”
