About Alan Bollinger

Respectful collaboration is the single greatest factor in a team’s success

For the last 25 years I've worked on the full stack of web development and the entire lifecycle of a product from its inception through the engineering, documentation and training. As a "hands on" leader, I am always working on building and optimizing agile teams, focusing on three things: balance, handling failures, and opening up communications for continuous improvement.

Testimonials and References

“Alan was my manager for around three years. In that time he proved to be a compassionate and energetic leader as well as a knowledgeable mentor. Alan led the charge in development of an entirely new product. He assembled an outstanding team of engineers with no ego and with a singular focus on product quality.

Alan was the company's most tireless and steadfast advocate for the product we built together. He brought an uncompromising vision to the table and helped the company navigate the uncertainties of a pandemic and the realities of a fully remote work environment.

On a personal level, he showed genuine concern for his direct reports and was a champion for his team members — always looking out for the best interests of his people and offering a hand up whenever possible.

Alan is a true professional who would make an excellent addition to any company.“

In my time with Alan as my manager, his skill helping both technical and non-technical teams navigate difficult deadlines and demanding circumstances while still uplifting and supporting the team's goals was phenomenal. He's not afraid to ask hard questions or push the envelope to get impactful results, but he is also very intentional in his desire to keep everyone on the same team. It's a tough line to walk, and Alan does it well—I had a great experience working on his team.“
