Alex Allain

About

As the co-founder and CTO of U.S. Digital Response, I lead a volunteer-powered, non-partisan effort to help federal, state, and local governments with technology, data, design, operations, communications, and project management needs. We started during the COVID-19 crisis, but our work continues to help governments make the most of technology to quickly meet the critical needs of the public. We've delivered almost 400 practical solutions that have impacted the lives of more than 42 million people across 38 states and territories. I am also the creator of Cprogramming.com, a website that has served over 100 million visitors, helping people around the world learn C and C++. I have written a book on C++ programming, Jumping into C++ and several chapters of the Holloway Guide to Technical Recruiting and Hiring, and I co-host the Decoding Sales podcast, where I help my friend Peter Ahn share his vision for authentic sales. I am passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems, empower others, and create positive impact.
