Alexander Manjarrés serves as the Chief Operating Officer of AEM Accounting Solutions.  He is responsible for the operational health of the business and the efficiency and effectiveness of its processes, with a particular focus on Product Strategy, Technical Operations, and Online Marketing.

Prior to joining AEM Accounting Solutions in July of 2024, Alexander was a software engineer out of college at Lockheed Martin Corporation, an American Aerospace and Defense manufacturer, for 7 years.  He left as a Level 4 Staff Software Engineer at the age of 26, an uncommon feat.  He served as a Product Owner and technical lead on various efforts related to a large-scale, highly-visible military program with tight deadlines and customers all over the world.

Through process improvements and new software tools he designed and implemented or otherwise oversaw, his teams saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in lifetime program costs in different areas of development and testing.  He is eager to bring this expertise in processes and improvements to the clients and partners of AEM Accounting Solutions.

Alex earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics from Florida Southern College, and before that, his Associate’s in Arts Degree from Polk State College, both in Lakeland, Florida.  He holds the distinction as the youngest to ever graduate from each institution (age 15 at Polk State College, age 17 at Florida Southern College).  Directly after Florida Southern College, he also attended a full semester at the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy before dropping out of the program to join the workforce.

He also holds various certifications in agile software development leadership from Scrum.org.
