Testimonials

"Alex was the youngest of the team - just 19 years old, taking a gap year before starting an engineering degree at Cambridge, but he was one of the top performers! We were impressed not only by his witty, humble yet collaborative and creative nature, but also by the level of professionalism that he exhibited. Within two months he managed to deliver the first MVP of a complex technical product that involved bespoke machine learning algorithms and designing advanced visualisations. He accomplished all that with very little guidance, which by itself is a feat, especially for someone that has not even started Uni! I cannot endorse Alex enough. All I can say is that you’ll be lucky if you ever got a chance to be picked for an interview by him! "
Charis Sfyrakis - CEO Algomo (September 2020)
"It was evident that Alex showed diligence and initiative throughout the project, delivering results far exceeding expectations of a student pre-university education. He integrated into the team well and showed a strong desire to expand the project past the original scope. The software Alex developed will be incorporated into our submission of our methodology for validation with UNICEF for field water testing. "
Dr Alex Patto - CEO WaterScope (2019)
"Alex worked at our company in the summer of 2018 and contributed to the commercialization of our products through development of a promotional website. Part of his work involved using his knowledge and curiosity of Physics to understand real world applications of the new part of the electromagnetic spectrum, referred toas Terahertz, that TeraView is commercializing. This enabled Alex to understand and help us effectively articulate to the public what the company does, and was very valuable in that regard from the company’s perspective. During his work, Alex demonstrated a huge drive and curiosity in understanding theprinciples behind our devices and I have been very impressed by his knowledge, maturity and enthusiasm for Physics and Engineering. I highly recommend Alex."
Dr Don Arnone - CEO Terahertz (2018)
