Alexandru Gris Referrals

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 difcult 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 a Director. 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 my SW TOOLS team and he contributed to the development of a .NET C#/C++ tool able to access a 3G phone's le 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.
