About continued

I'm Alexander, an award-winning Frontend Engineer. I love developing on the web primarily with JavaScript and Python. I love learning and teaching myself new things, even things outside of tech like finance and cooking. Besides that I'm kinda boring. I find time to play Rocket League and collect tiki mugs in between taking my son to travel baseball.

Testimonials

Real Feedback

These are the kind words others have said about me and my work.

Troy E.

Program Manager at Capella Space

The Oddball team loves working with him and values his contributions to the project. An excellent collaborator and teammate. We are lucky to have him as part of the Clarity team.

Joe N.

CTO at Wilcore

It’s been an absolute pleasure having him on our team. He consistently goes above-and-beyond with his workload and efforts, and he’s always pleasant to work with. I really appreciate his willingness to take time to explain things to me, and communicates issues when he needs assistance.

Clayton Z.

Senior UX Researcher at Oddball

I know you'll still be around on VA work, but I do want to let you know how much I've appreciated working with you. I've learned a lot from you about identity work, and how to work better across practice areas. You've fixed so many other team's code already, that you are definitely the right pick for this important work. You are 🐐 on FE, and you have a great mind for UX too. That's a killer combo.

Trevor B.

Director of Engineering at Wilcore

Alex is a tremendous asset to our team, and I really appreciate the opportunity to work with him.

Megan D.

Content Designer at Blue Tiger

I’ve learned so much from you. I hope we get to collaborate on more stuff again in the future ✨

Chris J.

First off, thanks you @Alexander Garcia for digging this up and adding the authentication thresholds. This document is fantastic.

Sara S.

Shoutout to @Alexander Garcia who is over on identity, but is currently supporting multiple things for My HealtheVet and is amazing to work with. I will forever be grateful for your collaborative-ness, Alex! You are the absolute best.

Jamie K.

Accessibility Specialist at Coforma

IT WORKS! Yes amazing!! How did you fix it? No other frontend engineer could figure out this weird iOS bug. Thank you so much you are a saint!

Alex T.

Tech Lead at Oddball

Great job on the approach seems like it was smooth and stakeholders were down with it.

Aaron E.

COO at Wilcore

You are doing an amazing job getting EERT pushed forward. It's a high viz/high risk program that requires our team to leverage all of our skills and capabilities to start up quickly and begin to make impact. Great job and I look forward to more work on this contract
