    “I had the pleasure of working with Alex Ni at Quickplay Media, where he played a pivotal role in systems architecture and design. Alex brought a thoughtful and structured approach to solving complex challenges; his ability to break down technical problems and design scalable, forward-looking solutions was pivotal for the groups product lines . One of the things that always stood out about Alex was his clarity of thought. Whether we were navigating system constraints or aligning on long-term technical direction, his insights were always grounded, well-articulated, and solution-oriented. He has a strong grasp of modern architecture principles and a talent for translating them into practical, high-performing systems. Beyond his technical acumen, Alex is a collaborative and dependable colleague. He brings a calm, steady energy to high-pressure situations and is genuinely invested in helping those around him succeed. I particularly appreciated his openness to ideas and his willingness to mentor teams while still staying hands-on and detail-focused himself. Alex approaches his work with humility, curiosity, and a clear sense of ownership. He doesn’t just build : he improves, questions, and elevates. It’s no surprise to see him making strides in the neuro-tech space now, bringing the same level of focus and care to a completely different domain. I’m glad to have had the opportunity to work with Alex and I’m confident he’ll continue to drive meaningful innovation wherever he goes. Ahmed Memon Senior Enterprise Architect ”
