Recommendation
from Cédrick Lunven, DataStax manager
“I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Kirsten for 3 years, where she has consistently impressed me with her mastery of both front-end development and Python. What sets Kirsten apart is not just her technical prowess but her exceptional ability to adopt an outsider’s perspective, ensuring our projects are not only robust but also intuitive for users. Her commitment to enhancing user experience is evident in every line of code she writes.
Moreover, she has an innate talent for teaching and sharing her knowledge, which she has demonstrated on numerous occasions at conferences and courses. Her sessions are insightful, engaging, and always packed with practical advice, making complex concepts accessible to developers at all levels.
It’s rare to find someone as dedicated to both their craft and the betterment of those around them. Kirsten is a remarkable developer, and any team would be lucky to have her.
