Student Feedback:
“Alex is an Incredible instructor. He knows his stuff for sure. I learned a great deal and he was crazy patient with me and the entire cohort. If you have an opportunity to learn from him, take it - you will not be sorry. Thanks Alex!” - Brian Anderson

“Alex is one of the best instructors out there. He goes above and beyond when helping his students. One thing I cannot commend Alex enough about is his willingness to create YouTube videos to help students after class. Alex aspires to learn new things everyday, and you can feel the passion he has when talks about different technologies” - Kwok Ren
