Testimonials

This is what my colleagues have to say about me.

Kay cares deeply about the customer, the quality of the code and her fellow teammates. She learns very quickly – when she joined us she hadn't yet worked with React. She picked it up easily and did so while adhering to our coding standards and design patterns. She is always brings a can-do attitude to whatever she's doing. Kay is a phenomenal addition to any team!

Elena Aiello | Senior software engineer at OfferZen

During my two years working with Kay, I was thoroughly impressed by her abilities. Kay is proactive in identifying areas for improvement and always takes the initiative to make things better. Her friendly demeanour and fun-loving personality make her a pleasure to work with. She is a fast learner and a self-starter, having taught herself Ruby on Rails to develop her backend abilities in her quest towards a fullstack role. Kay is a committed and dedicated member of the team and takes the time to mentor and guide other engineers. Kay is a true product-minded engineer and takes an interest in the bigger picture, often leading technical discovery and taking part in product discovery. Overall, Kay is an asset to any organisation lucky enough to have her on board.
