Years doing design
Greetings, friends.
I’m Alexander and I am a human. I take care of my three kids, do my best to be a good husband, and for the past 13 years I’ve been doing a lot of design.
Right now at Quickbase I do tons of things: leadership, management, and high-quality IC work. I’m absolutely geeking tf out when a discussion about AI starts.
At 17, my teacher trusted me with a Sofia Philharmonic poster. Seeing it around the city made design feel like a real job. I’ve followed that thread from eCommerce and mobile to automation and AI.
Outside work, I’m an energetic, underslept father. I hike, bike, fight under controlled conditions (martial arts), drink too much coffee, and try to make my wife and kids laugh.
