Chief of Operations

Derrington Evans

I found myself inspired by Jalapeno Labs. Hearing Alex talk about his dream and seeing his drive to make it a reality has pushed me to aim just as high. His determination fuels my own, and together, we’re working toward something greater than ourselves—building a company that can stand at the forefront of this industry.  I consistently seek to understand every aspect of our business, asking questions, troubleshooting challenges, and adapting quickly. 

Project Manager

Tyler Stephens

The energy and innovation that flow here are truly inspiring, motivating me to contribute my best. I relish the opportunity to dive deep into every aspect of our business, asking questions, troubleshooting challenges, and adapting quickly to ensure we meet our shared goals. Together, we are building a company that not only leads in the industry but also fosters collaboration and growth for everyone involved.

But don't just take our word for it...

Hear it from those we've served in the past

Alex has been critical to the success of my team. He has a scrupulous eye for reducing cognitive load in UI design, a seemingly limitless energy for productively writing software, and never hesitates to mentor even our most senior engineers on reactive coding concepts and idioms in ReactJS.

​Alex is a must-hire for any company with a user interface and I am excited to continue to work with him at DZYNE or wherever he ends up in the (hopefully distant) future.

 
 

Andy Mockli
Principal Software Engineer

I have had the pleasure of working alongside Alex Navarro, where he consistently demonstrated exceptional technical skills and an ability to deliver results as a Senior Software Engineer. Alex Navarro's eagerness and ability to learn and adapt to new technologies and frameworks makes him a valuable team member. 

He brings positivity to the team and every situation he's a part of, even the not so fun situations. If Alex is there, it's going be better. By heightening the mood or just producing great solutions, his presence lifts the whole team up.

Jeff Buttars
Software Architect

I've partnered with or led software teams for a little over a decade, and Alex is one of the best developers I've worked with in that span. He excels at being creative, low ego, and is a master at the kind of rapid iteration that results in fantastic products.

But what really sets him above the rest is his incredible intuition and drive - he instinctually goes the extra mile to ensure what he's building is exactly the right fit for the need.
