ABOUT ME

Ex-Wall Street corporate mercenary turned Software Engineer

A borderline cold brew coffee addict and a Florida native currently residing in Los Angeles, California, my name is Alexander Smith (Alex). If I had to describe a "personal mission statement" , I'd say that mine is to provide others with opportunities - especially if it helps them move up the so-called socio-economic ladder.
