I worked with them in the same company on the same team

This software developer is talented and diligent. In the projects we worked on together, they brought an incisive focus on the requirements and a desire to produce good outcomes for the customer. This was paired with a curiosity and breadth of programming experience that helped them find an appropriate solution to each unique problem. They have a strong sense of ethics and as a co-worker, they challenged me to do my best work. They also knew just when some dry humour would lighten the mood. Should our professional paths cross again I'd jump at the chance to work with them.

Work experience

Proudest professional achievement
I helped lead a team that allows community organisers to call union members to get feedback and help them remain connected to the movement. We completed the project in 3 months from the first line of code in our Django site to a team of a dozen organisers using it for projects with hundreds of union members. This involved teaching my team members, providing project management and prioritisation skills and rapidly coding some of the trickier features.
