Alex´s experience in afterschool education goes back to age 16, when he worked at a computer-based educational center. He continued his interest in the concept with a B.A. in psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, which included extensive education coursework. He returned to the same educational company after Penn, where things really clicked about how to improve on the idea. He won a number of awards in his three years at Google, and helped build significant portions of Twitter (as a product and an organization) as one of its earliest employees. These collective experiences have helped prepare him to lead Brightfox.
