About me

I'm Alex and I've been in the security industry for over 3 decades across various roles from UX Designer to remote Systems Engineer, QA, and more. I've been doing UX design professionally since 2014, and dabbled in it for even longer.

I've always been interested in design, art, and music, and am currently working on writing a book about the neuroscience of learning and memory, specifically for musicians, though the principles can be applied to any skill from sports to surgery.

Once upon a time I went to music school in L.A., and if you want me to never shut up, just ask me about guitar gear and studio musicians from the 60s through the 90s+.
