■  Pioneered a centralized marketing department and conducted monthly marketing meetings. Focused on increasing integration with sales efforts and a more unified branding strategy.

■  Implemented alternative methods in promotional efforts, introducing data-driven advertising strategy to increase return of investments, increasing social media outreach by 400%, and strengthening ties with industry publishers to pitch technical papers for coverage in magazines, online news outlets, and more.

■  Created a new case study program to utilize for marketing and sales, designing the new format and drafting a procedural guideline for the company to follow from project closeout, to client feedback, and then case study finalization. 

■  Integral in helping the company earn 2 nominations (Oil and Gas Awards Operational Consultancy of the Year; Platts Global Energy E&P Company of the Year) and 1 award (2015 Houston Best Companies to Work For).

        I had the pleasure of working along side Alfredo and the dev team at Kerv Interactive. Alongside Alfredo's dedicated professionalism to his role, what really stood out to me was his willingness to learn / innovate / communicate and support those in the team. There was no ego involved (unless we're talking ping-pong ;).  As a UX designer, I appreciated Alfredo's willingness to understand and adopt best practices when fulfilling design requests. I enjoyed his willingness to collaborate with me on a moments notice when tackling tough challenges. Even though he is somewhat new to the field he has a senior-strong understanding of code and knows how to communicate his work in an easy digestible fashion. You couldn't ask for a better teammate with the enthusiasm and the resolve to build great things. He comes highly recommended!

        I had the opportunity to work alongside Alfredo at Kerv Interactive building a web application for internal use from scratch.

Alfredo proved to be one of the fastest learners I have ever worked with, he was able to very quickly learned and became a highly productive expert at React.js. As a result, our team was able to deliver the web application to MVP to be used daily company-wide within a short period of just over 3 months.

In addition to his technical expertise, I do respect his work attitude. He is one of the most active members participating in Pull Request code review. He gives great feedback while being not afraid to ask the hard questions, helping to improve the code and thus the product. On another side, he pro-actively asks for feedback for his code and is always willing to adjust, adapt and improve his work. 

He also has very good eyes for product experience. I remember him giving great feedback regarding UX and behaviors for our application during the grooming and planning sessions. A great deal of his feedback has been actualized and implemented into our application that enhances the productivity of our internal users and thus the company 's profit margin.

Furthermore, Alfredo is a great communicator and just an all-around cool guy that gets along well with everyone in the company and a top-tier ping pong player.

I wholeheartedly recommend Alfredo and would love to work with him again in the future.
