Long before he was building construction software, Alex was getting his boots dirty on the jobsite. As a mechanical engineer on EllisDon’s $600M North Island Hospitals project, he experienced firsthand the coordination challenges that plague every major build. That experience shaped his vision for Buildcheck, where he now leads a team applying AI to the design review bottleneck he once faced. He’s developed a culture where engineers, researchers, and operators want to solve hard problems together. Under his leadership, Buildcheck has grown to serve more than 50 organizations including AvalonBay and Boston Properties. Alex’s colleagues say he bridges two worlds that rarely overlap: deep technical fluency and genuine leadership presence. He graduated top of his mechanical engineering class at UBC, earning the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering Gold Medal for overall outstanding achievement. He then went on to become a Fulbright Scholar and completed his MBA at Stanford. But you’d never hear about these accolades from the man himself. Coworkers say his mix of humility, empathy, and intelligence elevates everyone around him.
