Alex Terenda

Kind words from folks I've worked with.

• Alex's impact on our cloud security enterprise software was immense.

  Not only did he lead the design from startup through to maturity, but his keen understanding of users and dedication to improving quality were evident in every iteration.

  His dual expertise in design and code made him a powerful asset to our team.

• Alex has led the transformation of the Cado platform from one of deep design debt to a design-forward way of thinking where we deliver meaningful improvements on a continual basis - much to the delight of internal and customer stakeholders.

  Alex's unique blend of technical expertise, design acumen, understanding of process, and commitment to design culture has been absolutely central to that transformation, and I feel fortunate to witness and experience that.

• Alex is a rare combo of skills: A product designer with a strong, clean aesthetic and an arsenal of technical expertise. He's always able to keep to high UX standards while making incredibly smart design choices that enable the rest of the content and engineering team to function like a well oiled machine.

  A great designer to brainstorm with and always the first person I would go to for feedback.

• Working with Alex has been a professional highlight.

  He led a full product redesign under tight, moving deadlines and is an excellent collaborator across design, engineering, and product. He champions user experience and continually looks for ways to improve both design and engineering processes.

  His contributions will have a significant impact long after his departure.

I work remotely from Lisbon, though can be found in London every so often.
