Colleagues describe him as "I wholeheartedly recommend Alex, who served as the Director of Engineering at Native Voice, a role in which he demonstrated exceptional leadership and technical acumen. During his time at Native Voice, Alex was instrumental in steering the engineering department through numerous successful projects, showcasing his remarkable ability to lead his team and to deliver complex technical products. Under Alex's guidance, the engineering team developed and integrated the Native Voice SDK into nearly 2 million audio devices in 2023. Notably, this included devices from Skullcandy, the second bestselling headphone in the US (second only to apple) and an in-car accessory for Walmart where Native Voice was the hero feature. The Walmart project in particular highlights Alex’s skill in delivering innovative solutions as the key technical owner of the product, delivering the product reaching all Walmart store shelves on-time. Beyond these technical achievements, Alex's leadership was a driving force in the collaboration with major industry players like iHeart, TuneIn, and AccuWeather. He led his team in creating voice-enabled conversational AIs, a groundbreaking advancement that positioned Native Voice at the forefront of the industry. His management style fostered a productive and positive work environment and he managed his projects to successful on-time delivery making him an invaluable asset to our company. The elimination of Alex's position was due to a strategic pivot for the company and he is a significant loss for Native Voice. His blend of technical capability, leadership skills, and proven track record in delivering complex projects successfully makes him an ideal candidate for any senior role in engineering and technology development. I am confident that Alex will be a valuable asset driving innovation and success.", "I am very glad to have had the opportunity to work as an iOS engineer under Alex Manuel's command as Director of Engineering. Our team was always united and motivated, which made it possible to produce a high-quality product. His personal support and ability to find compromises in solving both technical and organizational problems cannot be overestimated. Undoubtedly, this is exactly the kind of person with whom it is pleasant and comfortable to work. I 100% recommend Alex as an excellent leader of the engineering team.", and "As an Android Engineer, I had a chance to see our mobile team transform from within under Alex Manuel's command as Director of Engineering. Alex was able to put together a predictable release system with clear scopes and timelines. Our engineering satisfaction has much improved from the time when Alex joined the company, which highlights his knowledge and professionalism. We shipped several successful high-quality products under Alex's supervision, some of which were under his ownership (like onn. FM transmitter). On the personal level, I could always reach out to Alex for an advice in any area of both technical and other aspects. He has always been kind and supportive with any issues me or anyone else on the engineering team faced, offering advice and/or encouragement if needed. I would certainly recommend Alex as a good team or engineering leader."
