I have been called many things...

but you can call me

Alex

A borderline cold brew coffee addict and a Florida native currently residing in Tampa, Florida, my name is Alexander Smith (Alex). If I had to describe a 'personal mission statement' , I'd say that mine is to provide others with opportunities - especially if it helps them move up the so-called socio-economic ladder.


While I call Tampa home, I was born in Baltimore, MD and I've been to Germany more times than my fingers permit me to count (I'm Black and German).

Hear From Others' Experiences

These are people I've worked with and/or for professionally.

Alex is an articulate communicator and excellent at developing solutions for complex problems. He delivers top quality code. Always. The degree of emotional intelligence possessed by Alex makes him such a well rounded individual and an absolute pleasure to work alongside.

Dwight Scott

Senior Software Engineer @ Boundless Immigration

Alex, without question, is what you would call a 10x engineer. His ability to crank out quality code and present technical accomplishments to the business is next to none. However, all of that pales in comparison to his dedication to creating a safe and inclusive workspace for all.

Larry Scott

Senior Software Engineer @ GiveCampus

Alex has an innate ability to see beyond the code. He's able to have high level conversations typically reserved for product managers unlike any other engineer I've ever seen. He understands how to translate things into layman's terms that is also tailored to a specific audience.

Armando Ochoa

Senior Business Operations & Strategy Manager @ Pinterest

Alex helped me automate painstakingly manual and repetitive tasks that I had no idea could even be automated. He saves me several hours a week now. Throughout the process he was communicative, prompt, and professional. I'd absolutely work with him again.

Amber Figlow

CEO @ A Creative Co.

As an engineer, Alex is thoughtful, efficient, and has a keen eye for pitfalls and problem areas. As a teammate, he's considerate, conscientious, and deeply engaged. I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to work with and learn from him - couldn't have asked for a better coworker.
