Testimonials

"The challenge of hiring a programmer is difficult in terms of looking for a balance of hard and soft skills. The project we hired Alex for was creative in the sense it not only involved understanding our wants, but also utilizing the Twitter API. Throughout the project as challenges arose, it was easy working with Alex to create creative solutions. In my experience, Alex was talented not only in Drupal but also working with business owners."

"Since WRCJ 90.9 FM switched to Commercial Progression for Web hosting and support, we’ve had a nice increase in the number of people streaming our classical and jazz music, as well as an increase in time spent on our site. Alex Fisher and his team respond quickly to our needs and are very creative in helping us meet our online goals."

Dave Devereaux, Station Manager, WRCJ-FM Detroit

"I worked with Alex on a couple of high-profile projects for the Microsoft Corporation in 2008 and 2009. We worked on a Silverlight 2 video application that streamed the Democratic National Committee Convention (DNCC) live using Move Network’s adaptive streaming technology. We repeated the success of the DNCC by streaming the 2009 Presidential Inauguration with CBS local. Alex was instrumental helping us plan and design our solution which had several dependencies with Move Networks and with other companies as well: Microsoft, Level 3, and Verizon Business. Alex was able to help the Vertigo team ramp up very quickly on the Move Player SDK and Move Publish CMS and provided excellent Architectural advice as we stood up our application. Alex has a very enjoyable personality and is easy to work. He remains calm and collected during tough decision making and is always thinking about creative solutions to accommodate client requests, schedule deadlines, and technical and design constraints. He was always willing to help out and was very proactive in following up with folks from his side. I would gladly work with Alex again and I highly recommend him to anyone who seeking an expert in the streaming media world."

"Alex is one of the most talented consultants I have ever encountered. He has the ability to program, but more importantly has a tremendous business mind and always delivers more than I expected. As a former Speaker of House in Michigan and business owner I have used a lot of technology consultants. Alex is among the best you can find- I offer my highest recommendation."

David Berman, CEO, PNG Laboratories / Ultimate Pros

"Alex went from the frying pan into the fire and never looked back re-inventing how things were done, taking on new challenges and fixing long standing issues with a better solution. Consistently winning praise from our end-users and other co-workers alike created a win-win-win result for everyone involved. As an engineer, programmer and manager who is dependable, on time and a great people person I recommend Alex very highly."

"I've worked with Alex on a number of occasions. A long time ago, in high school, as an alumnus Alex was my mentor on the science fair projects that I worked on. More recently, I've worked for Alex as a contact employee for his digital media and technology consulting firm, Commercial Progression. Alex is a great communicator, and highly efficient manager. He understands how to motivate his development team, manage a project, and still allow for the necessary autonomy that it takes to accomplish a given task."

Luke Duncan, Freelancer Software Engineer

"Alex Fisher has been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember - and for as long as I can remember, every endeavor only strengthened and refined his talents. His commitment to projects is unparalleled, and his ability to bring talented individuals together never ceases to amaze me. On top of his technical strengths lies not only a layer of creativity, but also one of business acumen. We made a great team at Studio Logic, and I look forward to a future reunion. But while I'm fortunate to have worked with Alex, I'm even more fortunate to first and foremost been friends."
