For the last 4 years, he has been developing a fintech crypto trading startup, where he is responsible for product development from 0 to a successful release, at the moment he works on product support, he brings him passive income. Also since the last 3 years he has been developing a new marketplace, which is already at the release stage, he is responsible for the development and management of a team of 15 people.

Alexander is an EU citizen, but currently lives in Dubai, and already in mid-April he leaves to live in Holland for permanent residence, but for now he is engaged in paperwork for the family. He is also finishing his job at his current company for now, with a release scheduled for April 9th and he will be able to start a new job after April 20th, but he is currently reviewing job options and interviewing.
