Alim Jiwa
Alim graduated from the University of Victoria with a M.Asc in Computer Software Engineering and business knowledge from MBA Entrepreneurship coursework. After co-founding Pretio Interactive and working as Director of Product for a couple years, Alim took his talents to Seattle where he is now Senior Program Manager at Zillow.
“Even though his primary role is not as a developer, I can’t overstate Alim’s technical abilities and understanding.
I can trust Alim to dig into complex database analytics to find answers, or to have technical conversations with our partners and make decisions which I’m confident to stand behind. If he ever decides to switch back, he could definitely be an excellent developer in his own right. Although he does have an engineering background, it’s more so who he is and how he thinks, rather than his credentials.
He’s got a laser focus on details, and can clearly identify the implications of ideas from the product, business, and tech perspective.” – Rob O’Dwyer
