I have known Alexander, professionally, for over 7 years. Alexander has consistently shown his reliability in all efforts he applies himself to. My company has hired Alexander for several freelance projects and he has never once missed a deadline or other waypoint in a project. I feel I can always depend on Alexander both personally and professionally, and I think you can too!

I have worked with Alexander at Early Warning Services since he started in 2015. His attention to detail and drive for quality is what makes him stand out. Alexander strives to learn and understand the technology around him, completely. He is always trying to learn more about anything in his sphere of influence. Professionally, it is always a pleasure working on projects with him. I would recommend him to any employer, as he would be a valued asset to any company.
James Froxylia Manager Network Security, Early Warning Services, LLC. -
Alexander is my best friend. A "brother from a different mother", as it were. I have known Alexander for over 30 years, and this entire time, I have known him to always be an individual that does the right thing, even when nobody is looking. His strength of person and character is the quality that I admire most in him. This is a quality I think most professionals would also value highly.

I have worked with Alexander for over two years now. As his direct Team Leader at Early Warning Services on the Linux team, I can definitely say he is one of the best, honest, and hard working team members I supervise. Alexander always goes above and beyond all expectations. He is always up for new challenges and does not give up until the work gets done. Alexander's expertise at BASH Automation is incredibly useful and a serious asset for our team. It is a pleasure working with him.
