01 SUMMARY


 

I am a Software Engineer with 6 months of professional experience, 1 year of JavaScript experience and 2.5 years of Python experience. I graduated from University of California, Santa Cruz in June 2019 with a Master of Science (M.S.) degree and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Computer Science.

In my spare time, I like to play drums, engage in photography and learn about cool consumer technology! I even recently started my own Instagram page to share my admiration for coding and tech (@alswillicodes).

Here are a few reviews from past coworkers:

Barry Stokes

Senior Manager at BAE Systems

May 2020

Barry managed me directlly

Alex is a very bright and capable software engineer whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with at BAE Systems since December 2019. I had an immediate sense of his competence after our phone interview and subsequently hired him, a decision that has paid off many times over. He quickly learned the skills needed to start contributing to help our team meet our goals and objectives. He has a broad software engineering skills base and a fantastic work ethic that allowed him to fit right in with our team. Alex is proactive in his approach to tasks and is always looking to make things a little better. He is very helpful to others and is the type of individual that would be valuable to any project or team he supports.

Sean Powell

Senior Principal Software Engineer at BAE Systems

May 2020

Sean was a senior to me but didn't manage me directly

Alex joined us in 2019 and stepped into filling a big gap on our software test team. His work ethic, skill set, ability to focus, pick up new things, collaborate, and ask good questions are all very impressive. I have thoroughly enjoyed the time spent working with Alex. He is an excellent engineer and an awesome individual. He has positive working relationships with everyone on our team. Alex puts thought into his work and was immediately apparent in the quality of his work during both reviews and formal test qualification events. He has been a significant contributor to our latest successes and has made improvements in our testing environment, as well as speaking up to provide ideas for improvement. He's exceeded my expectations on numerous occasions, and completed tasks outside his test role many times to support our software integration team. I would consider it a mistake to not hire Alex given the opportunity and would happily take Alex to fulfill development, integration, or test roles on any team in the future.

Nick Nesterov

Software Engineer at BAE Systems

May 2020

I worked with Nick on the same team

At the time when Alex joined our group at BAE Systems, we had a need for someone to come in and "hit the road running" which is exactly what Alex did! Alex is smart, knowledgeable, and he is quick to pick things up. He has a broad software engineering skills base, which along with his commendable work ethic, made Alex a very valuable member of our team. Just as important, Alex is easy to get along with and really a pleasure to work with. Alex is dependable and requires no supervision. Alex would be a valuable member to any team.
