Client
Aleodor has been an advisor to DATA SWEEP for a while now, and his input has genuinely shaped how we work.
His guidance has been instrumental across the board: he's helped us sharpen our strategy, think more rigorously about product, and organize events that actually move the needle. What sets him apart is that he doesn't just advise from a distance — he engages with the real problems, asks the questions that reframe how you see a challenge, and consistently pushes us toward higher standards.
As we've moved into our fundraising phase, his experience and network have been invaluable, and his ability to translate a vision into a compelling, investor-ready narrative is second to none.
If you get the chance to work with Aleodor, take it. We're glad we did.

Working becomes much more fun when you have Aleodor as part of your team & organization.
You won't need much time to realise Ale is an extremely skilled Senior Leader, with an amazing balance from both perspectives. On the hard skills side he's an extremely passionate professional, always keeping in mind long term architectures. On the soft skills side, Ale is one of those people that ANY individual within a software company can learn things from.
Public speaking is something he's a master at, putting his passion at next levels by stimulating more people to grow in that area as well.

Reported to Aleodor
Aleodor is one of the best managers I have worked with. His leadership approach is very well-balanced with hands-on contributions on technical challenges of the team and working very close to people.
Empathetic and genuinely oriented to truly understand the needs of each member of the team. I felt really heard and supported — he made an excellent work in finding me the right instruments: mentors, reviews, access to technical courses, to follow my growth direction.

He is tech savvy and yet able to express his knowledge in a manner that's accessible for the audience, be it technical or not. At the same time, he exudes warmth.
I remember he insisted for a good half a year to introduce a mentoring program in our organization and he didn't stop until it happened. That's a constant with him: once he sets his mind on something, he is very resourceful in making things happen. In a room of people, he has the leader energy.

Aleodor is one of the most involved and devoted professionals I have worked with. He is an excellent leader because he inspires everyone he interacts with.
Always accepts challenges that will help him evolve but also push those around him to do the same. I watched Aleodor evolve from a great engineer to a great leader who really changed something around him.

As a UX Manager, Aleodor built a great UX team: frontend devs and UX designers. He was able to explain advanced technical security concepts to a 5 year old (me).
In my 10 years career working with a lot of teams, Aleodor was the most professional, giving amazing constructive feedback that helped me grow my UX skills a lot. He was always challenging me to iterate and find better solutions.

I had the pleasure of working with Aleodor at Bitdefender where he created and managed a team of 7 people. He is a great developer, manager, mentor, communicator, and friend, always wanting to help and learn new ways to solve problems.
I learned a lot from Aleodor, both soft and hard skills, and he is someone who you want around as a good example of how to improve yourself.

Even though he is a technical person and has deep knowledge in the field, when you say “Ale” you don't say “tech” — you say “people”.
He is the one that makes things happen, that inspires people to think out of the box. He has the energy to move mountains, teams, projects — all while caring for other people.

Without knowing each other previously, he kindly responded to all my questions, sent me a Front-End learning path, and gave me feedback on my projects — all that helped me find a way out of the tutorial hell I was stuck in.
He never made me feel like I put a wrong or stupid question. He has a keen eye for potential and helps it succeed by creating a proper environment for professional growth.
