Alex Beciana

Software Engineer
I'm a full-stack software engineer with an entrepreneurial spirit with 5 years of digital marketing, product management, and community management experience, working in tech (startup to FAANG), education, and music as well as leading a profitable startup. I'm a recent Flatiron School graduate and accustomed to the Agile methodology, working across technical and non-technical teams, and managing project roadmaps. My interest and passion for engineering blossomed during my undergraduate career as I was working full-time during the day and attending class full-time at night. During this time, I started a company, Sweet Static, so that I could learn and grow skills from scratch with a real-world application of classroom learning and independent study. This company became profitable and noteworthy in New York City and along the East Coast of the United States, allowing me to hire a small writing staff to give others an opportunity similar to what I created for myself.
