“We dropped Alex in the deep-end with a tricky task on a legacy project with very little documentation — and he really delivered for us. He’s got a great attitude and is a good communicator. Excellent technical skills — very knowledgeable, with a lot of experience under his belt. Not only did he complete the actual assignment but he also made other improvements to the project that will save us time in future. 10/10 would definitely work with him again. Thanks Alex!”
