Alphys and Chujin are both autistic savants who are good at certain things but have blind spots that they don't know how to and possibly don't care to correct.
Chujin figured out how to do complex autonomous robotics whose intelligence and agency far surpasses the Jandroids and even Guardener, while packing enough firepower into them to kill a human. He also made headway into Determination research despite having no funding or cooperation with other scientists. He refused to ever consider safety when making bold decisions, though, and this caused him to lose first his job and second his life when some more time, patience and perhaps outside help could have allowed him to perfect it.
Alphys is an outright genius when it comes to building tech and can create successful products without thinking too hard about it; she upgrades your phone with ease, she built various traps around Hotland etc. Even when she fails e.g. Mettaton going turncoat, the amalgamates, she puts a lot more caution into her experiments. However, in the cases where she doesn't succeed she will try to fudge the results to look better, lie outright and cover up all the evidence, or forge on ahead making things worse and worse in an attempt to keep the charade going.
Where Chujin's persistence leads to success after he's ruined his chances for recognition, Alphys succeeds more quickly but her personality spirals her into catastrophic failure in situations that could be avoided with simple communication.
If the two ever worked together, they would probably be able to, on paper, help mitigate each other's flaws. Alphys would help Chujin's projects start on better footing, Chujin could steer Alphys in the right direction when hiccups appear, etc.
I say "on paper" because I'm convinced these two would FUCKING HATE each other and be fundamentally incompatible people. Which would be enjoyable to watch which is why I'm writing it but completely dysfunctional.
