I've been rolling with Albert Pak for close to 20 years now, and let me tell you, without a doubt, he's an outstanding software engineering manager and technical leader that you want on your team.
What really impresses me is Albert's leadership style. Dude knows how to bring a squad together and get folks collaborating smoothly. His guidance has leveled up so many on his team. Not to mention, his commitment to mentoring and supporting my non-profit projects has been invaluable. Albert has gone above and beyond to lend his expertise to causes making a real difference in the community. In fact, his non-profit work with me even earned him The President's Volunteer Service Gold Award in education twice.
Albert's entrepreneurial spirit drives him to innovate time and money-saving solutions. His Agile and human-centered design skills ensure projects exceed expectations.
Albert's a rare breed that any team would be lucky to have. His technical genius, leadership abilities, and forward-thinking approach are unmatched. I'm looking forward to us continuing to make major moves together in this tech game, especially when it comes to driving positive change through award-winning non-profit and social enterprise work.

I highly recommend Albert for any developing and engineering of your business digital space - whether it be small or large. Aside from his long history of proven work, he is great to work with.

Software Engineering Manager

Albert and I have worked together for a long time and was one of my first and strongest recruits to my teams at DRIVIN. During a high growth period for the company we had extensive green field and legacy applications we delivered together. One particular project that exemplified his engineering skills was known at the time as OTS. It was required complex migrations including a shift to React, new authentication, Salesforce integration, car data retrieval and efficient search w/ Elastic. We would not have made it to the finish line without him. Our customer usage and positive impact was immense. Albert continues to be in my book of technical professionals I'd happily hire and collaborate with again. As a manager I can only scale so far and he consistently stepped up to lead and drive our success with little oversight. His technical, leadership, and professional skills would be a strong add for any organization. Highly recommend.

I cannot say enough kind things about Albert. I've never had a manager who displayed so much support and trust in his team. Albert is the opposite of a micromanager and his approach has enabled our team to tackle daily challenges and navigate through pressure with confidence. I learned a lot and became a better developer under his supervision. Without any reservation, I can fully recommend him as a people leader and problem solver for any organization.

Working with Albert at JetBlue Travel Products was a revelation. It's not every day you get a boss whose strong management skills are dwarfed by his engineering talents. Solving hard architectural problems right alongside us and helping to see them through. He can not only create the vision but make the tough choices to make sure good ideas come to fruition.
A SOLID developer, he was able to lead from the front and teach us what high level innovation and execution look like. From redesigning our tech stack framework to improving state management, from custom CSR/IVR development to key code refactors, or building major CMS and analytics tools for marketing and DA teams that became the backbone of our business, he guided our hand at every step of the way.
But it was his leadership style that distinguished him most: Through his trust and provided autonomy he empowered the team to take extreme ownership and thrive. Pushing each of us to own any task and cover ground beyond what we thought was possible.
Albert has been an excellent mentor. I guarantee he will make a big impact on any team he becomes a part of. Albert, I cant wait to see what comes next for you!

Albert is a great addition to any team; one of his many attributes include positivity, working well under pressure and eager to learn and introduce new technologies.
