Projects Anchor

"Albert has a great appetite for learning. He is always open to new languages, platforms, idea and approaches and is continually learning and trying to get better. His ego doesn't get in the way when it comes to looking at new things. This openness and lack of dogma makes it a joy and very educational to work with him. He has inspired me to learn more, and I'd be excited to work with him again for more of that inspiration."
