"...She came into a somewhat difficult situation and was expected to finish a portion of the project which had been started by another programmer.
Kim showed a keen ability to quickly understand the overall concept of the system and came up to speed on her portion...surprisingly fast. She was able to complete the initial 'bug and yet to do' list within about 60 days after coming on board. After the rollout to beta testing, she worked with us for some months on improvements in both design and functionality.
Since that time, Kim's responsibilities have included the occasional bug fix (very few, a real testament to her thoroughness), and a few smaller projects. ...
...In short, all of us have come to highly respect Kim's abilities in both design and programming..." - Warner E. Lassiter, VP of Software -

When Kim joined my team, the schedule forced me to pull her into projects with very little ramp up time. Not only did she achieve the goals I had set before her, but she exceeded them and took on every aspect of our project (and future projects) she could. Her insight into technical matters was unmatched, and the quality of her software and UI designs were a welcome addition to our group." - Sean Murray, Solutions Architect

US Games
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Computer Software industry)
January 1996 — August 1996 (8 months)
From letter of recommendation:
"...working on video game software to be used in casinos. The system is large and complex as it must interface with a real human, recover to any point in the system after a power failure, and tolerate only the most minor errors....
...I gave Kim the responsibility of analyzing the system and recommending ways to optimize and simplify the architecture. In less than 90 days, she produced a clear, straightforward plan...We were able to implement the changes in less than a month and everything worked as she predicted it would. After this, our system went through the most successful bug reduction in its history. I believe Kim's ability to simplify something as complex as our system was the primary reason why the bugs where so easy to fix....Without Kim, I firmly believe we would still be mired in bugs." - Dan Pierce, Director of R&D
