Professional Recommendations

Soren EinarrSenior Recruiter at Dow Jones

I had the pleasure of working with Alfred during his time as a Software Engineering Intern at Dow Jones. He was a talented, curious, and dependable engineer who quickly adapted to new challenges and consistently approached his work with thoughtfulness and a strong desire to learn. Alfred was also very personable and dependable; he brought a collaborative mindset and a strong technical foundation to the team. I’m confident he’ll continue to grow and make a meaningful impact in his career, and overall I highly recommend him.

Leigh HuntProduct Director of AI Experiences, Search, and Personalization at Dow Jones

I had the pleasure of mentoring Alfred during his internship, and he is one of those people you immediately want to root for. What stood out was not any single thing he was working on, but the way he was always present, curious, and kind in a way you don't see every day. It is easy, especially for a young software engineer, to disappear behind a screen or lean on AI to do his thinking. Any team that gets to work with him will be better for it. I can't wait to see what he accomplishes.

Photography

In my free time, I love taking photos. Right now I shoot on two digital cameras: the Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS A and the Kodak PIXPRO FZ55. I'm always working to grow my portfolio and improve my skills!
