Ionut Grozea, Director of Development Eastern Europe Ubisoft

We hired Alexandru few years ago in Ubisoft, being impressed by his technical level and

motivation. He leveled-up from programmer to programming team leader and Producer very

smoothly, being one of the most promising developers we've ever had. He succeeded in all

assigned tasks - even on very difficult ones, based on his perseverance, technical level and

"close to the people" management style. It was a real pleasure working with him.

Mihai Daranga, Lead Character and Animation

Department Ubisoft

Alexandru is the most energetic and jovial producer that Ive ever work with. He has a very

good attitude toward the Project and toward the team.

Miguel Angel Martin, Cinematic And Movie Director"I worked under Alexandrus supervision on Silent Hunter 5. He was the Producer, I was aDirector. I rarely worked with someone that transmits such a good vibe like him. Every

problem was an amusing challenge to confront, mainly because of his positive approach, as if

it was a funny adventure to live. I came to conclusion that work is effectively a funny

adventure to live for him.

I hope I have the chance to work again with Alexandru and sincerely recommend him."

Robert David, Manager Software Development,

Freescale

I have been working with Alexandru at Freescale Semiconductor. He has been part of mySW TOOLS team and he contributed to the development of a .NET C#/C++ tool able to

access a 3G phone's file system from a PC application via two very complex frameworks. He

succeeded to develop the tool very fast, he proved to have a solid technical background and

he also established excellent working relationships with colleagues from France and India. I

will be glad to work with Alexandru again anytime and I can recommend him as an

enthusiastic and technically gifted software engineer.
