My scope included:
- Designing and evolving large-scale front-end architectures

- Contributing to company-wide initiatives such as hiring, roadmap planning, and organizational improvements

"I had the pleasure of working with Alexis during our time at Samsung Ads and witnessed his growth firsthand. I was consistently impressed by his ability to develop innovative solutions that not only addressed complex challenges but also enhanced page performance and the overall user experience. When I learned he was going freelance, I was excited to see his talents become available to a broader range of companies. His thoughtful, user-centered approach to application design is a valuable asset to any company looking to build impactful digital products."
Nikolas Beaudin
Director of UX & Design - Samsung Ads
"I had the pleasure of working closely with Alexis on the development of our Design System at Samsung Ads. Alexis has a rare ability to bridge the gap between design (UI/UX) and engineering. He communicates seamlessly with both designers and developers, combining strong technical expertise with a genuine sensitivity to UI and a deep understanding of UX challenges. He demonstrated an excellent capacity to lead large-scale, cross-functional technical initiatives within an international organization. I would highly recommend Alexis to any organization looking for someone who can successfully drive complex design and technical projects while aligning diverse stakeholders around a shared vision."
Boris Kuzmanovic
Director of Engineering - Samsung Ads
"I loved working with Alexis at Samsung Ads. Over time, he took on increasing responsibility and was promoted to UI Architect. In that role, he led the Domain-Driven Design (DDD) initiative and guided teams through the transition from a monolithic application to a micro-frontend architecture. Leading this work at a global level, Alexis brought clarity to a complex, multi-site environment. He made DDD practical and actionable, helped teams establish clear domain ownership, and ensured the frontend modernization effort supported long-term scalability. What stood out most was his people-first leadership. He aligned teams across regions and time zones, clearly explained the “why” behind decisions, and supported teams through change. Alexis consistently raised the engineering bar while keeping teams engaged and moving forward."
