Alec Deng is a Founding Designer at Cervo AI. He is proficient in Mandarin. Colleagues describe him as "Alec is a designer whose methodical mindset and logical approach to design have significantly improved our engineering workflows. His work on developing our design component libraries not only streamlined our design processes but also made them more intuitive for engineers. His ability to marry aesthetics with practical functionality is a rare and valuable skill. His expertise in rapid prototyping is particularly noteworthy. Alec's quick turnaround on prototypes, especially when dealing with unclear specifications, has been vital in keeping our projects moving smoothly. This agility under pressure ensures that our outputs are not only fast but also of high quality. Additionally, Alec has been an incredible mentor. He taught me how to use the design components he developed, which greatly accelerated my ability to create prototypes. This knowledge sharing has been a major time-saver and has notably enhanced the quality of my work. Beyond his direct contributions, Alec's talent for identifying talents is remarkable. He has successfully referred several high-caliber engineers to our team, all of whom have proven to be excellent additions. This demonstrates his deep understanding of team dynamics and what it takes to build a strong, cohesive unit." and "Alec is one of the most talented and easy-going designers I have had the pleasure of working with at Padlet. He has keen eye for sharp, clean & modern design, and I am convinced he can accurately discern an out of place pixel by eye. His designs are second to none and he goes the the extra mile to help us engineers correctly implement, correct and tweak the user interface in a friendly and polite manner! Truly an amazing asset and my favorite person to collaborate with on designs!"
