Hi, I’m Alex, a partner at DataFenix. I joined DataFenix because I recognise that startups often struggle with planning and executing digital projects, leading to delays, missed business goals, and sometimes even failed ventures.

My Journey

Starting as a founder, I built and led my own company, gaining invaluable insights into the startup world. Transitioning into freelancing, I expanded my skills and took on diverse projects, enriching my experience. Now, as an angel investor, I support emerging startups, helping them navigate their early stages. Currently, I’m leveraging my expertise as a solution architect at IKEA, where I’m contributing to innovative and large-scale solutions.

Approach

Drawing from over 10 years of diverse industry experience as a full stack developer and a solution architect, my approach to new projects is grounded in a deep understanding of both the technical and business landscapes. As a former founder and acting CTO for several startups, I recognize the common challenges startups face in digital project execution.

At DataFenix, my focus is on ensuring clarity and structure from the outset. I prioritize understanding the unique needs and goals of each project, collaborating closely with stakeholders to establish a solid foundation. My strategy involves:

Clear Communication: Establishing transparent and continuous communication to align all parties on objectives and expectations.

Strategic Planning: Crafting detailed project plans that address potential risks and ensure timely delivery.

Agile Methodologies: Implementing agile practices to adapt to changes and optimise efficiency.

Technical Excellence: Leveraging cutting-edge technologies and best practices to create scalable and sustainable solutions.

Mentorship and Support: Providing guidance and support to startup teams, empowering them to achieve their business goals.

By combining my technical expertise with a strategic, business-focused mindset, I help startups successfully navigate their digital projects, minimizing delays and driving towards their goals with confidence.
