Introducing Alex, our Technical Director 👋🏼

We had Alex in the hot seat so you can get to know him...

1.⁠ ⁠How long have you worked at FL1?
15 years on Nov 2nd 2024!

2.⁠ ⁠What’s your death row meal?
Tapas

3.⁠ ⁠How did you get into the industry?
I've actually always been very "arty". Always drawing and painting when I was little, involved in the editing of the school newspaper and even was asked to make a big mural/graffiti on the school's main wall.

During those years, I was involved in this Folk Metal band from my town (San Fernando, Spain) called SAUROM, so I started building their site. We always built a new one for every new album they released and because of that, I started learning things like JavaScript, ActionScript, Flash, etc. In the end, I was in charge of their whole online presence for many years to come – the band now fills up stadiums in places like Mexico! It makes me happy to know I was part of that initial journey because of the skills I learnt.

Fast forward to the UK, after finishing the Graphic Design & Illustration degree, I landed my first ""industry"" job in this small, family-owned printing company in Hitchin. It was mainly design work but I built a couple of sites too. I was there for about a year, then started at FL1 Digital. 15 years later, I'm still here :)
